While, mercifully, the MWA Hall, remained unoccupied and quiet, last night, some of my neighbours decided to have a function (most likely a wedding), in the already grabbed and over built Municipal estate where I live. The limited space was/is further being used by people who don't want to hire some place to hold their events. They just put up marquees and then, with no thought for the neighbourhood, hold loud musical parties the whole night!!!
Such an event, kept up, those who were not at the place, most of last night. In the end at about 2.00 am, I called the cops, but, they of course, as is their wont, didn't show up till after 3.00 am! This is the assumption I've reached, since, that's when we could get back to bed in peace.
Even now, there's the sound of loud music coming from the same direction as last night. Which means that their merry making is still going on....
What is the matter with the people of this country? They seem to have little regard for others and impose their racket on unwilling ears, by force. And the people who are in charge of maintaining law and order seem to be very averse to doing so. Why? Especially when there's a law/s (?), to back them up.
Everywhere one goes these days there's something very loud being played or announced. Yesterday morning, I passed by Nakumatt Likoni just before noon and was immediately surrounded by noise. One was coming from the ferry's direction and the other was loud music being played by the Book First restaurant. These noisy places might attract the young crowd, but, the older people, would avoid them like the plague. One can't hold a decent conversation in such a place. So, are people going there just listen to this awfully loud music or for a social purpose?
If they are frequenting such places for the music, they might as well, get to a nightclub or disco where people who don't like loud noise would avoid going. Instead, nearly everywhere one goes these days, we encounter terrible and loud noise. Also, loud 'anything' is damaging to the ears. Or don't these people know or care? Can we have peace, please?
And I don't know whether we'll have any peace tonight, either. I really dread these noises and the subsequent repeated calls to the cops to get them to apply the law.
Most of the postings are to do with what an average Kenyan citizen has to deal with, in the country, to survive. They go through and are treated with a lot of injustice, where very few in 'officialdom', will take notice of their problems or even do anything about them. Hence, this blog and the belief in, 'One learned man is harder on the devil than a thousand ignorant worshipers' - Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
