I'm happy that the government is taking initiative to fix the country lately, but I think the police have greater problems to tackle than noise level of matatus.

i think church bells are the main noise contriputor in kenya. the police could have being wise if they could start by withdrawning all this church bells ringing unnecessarily even in the resting parks.
