NEMA disclosed that the suspects were arrested last week during the ongoing operation against noise pollution in the country, triggered by numerous public complaints.


NEMA explains that the law requires establishments such as places of worship, and recreational and production activities to either submit project briefs or undertake environmental and social impact assessments to enable relevant authorities to guide their operations and to ensure that aspects of the environment, including noise, air, and water pollution, are not compromised.

Once found guilty of noise pollution, a person faces a fine of Shs 1 billion or a maximum jail term of 15 years, or both.
