If local
authorities cannot control the excessive noise pollution in town
within the framework of the existing laws, how about formulating
special by-laws to address the problem?
Arusha is currently deafening... loud trumpets leading wedding
processions, preachers and their supporters singing loudly through
Public Address systems, various commercial adverts aired through
loud speakers and street discos.
This is in addition to loud hooting of town buses, conductors
cacophony and other forms of noises.
It never occurs to the offenders that this is actually disturbing
people's peace.

Arusha is
becoming a very important town as it hosts various international
organizations and is a popular tourist destination. It thus requires
a peaceful atmosphere.
It is getting worse as mobile noise pollutants such as the
advertising vehicles cruise by hospitals where sick people are
admitted.

Throughout
the town, within streets and beyond, noise and chaos are
increasingly becoming a norm in Arusha municipality.
Most of the noise making outfits are loudspeakers perched on moving
vehicles or trumpets leading wedding ceremonies. The nuisance is
common even in locations with offices, hospitals and residential
houses day and night.
