Nairobi Introduces Noise Permit Fees for Weddings, Churches and Events

Nairobi City County's updated 2026 Finance Act sets fees from Sh5,000 yearly for churches and mosques to Sh100,000 for short-term night events, aiming to curb rising noise complaints.

Weddings in residential areas cost Sh20,000, roadshows Sh10,000 to Sh50,000 by vehicle size, and construction Sh20,000.

Reactions vary, with some calling the low church fee unfair next to one-off events, while others doubt enforcement amid ongoing issues like loud worship and entertainment spots.
