He said;

“The loud noise that emanates from ?PEFA? church is intolerable to a lot of residents living near the church.

“We are giving them exactly 14 days within which to reduce the noise pollution at Saika Church, Kangundo Road. We plan to take legal action if the concerns of the complainants are not addressed conclusively.”
