MP Jalango’s Baby Mama Wants South C Mosque Shut Down!
Hon. Jalango and Cheptoek Boyo
Langata MP Phelix Odiwour Jalango’s baby mama Cheptoek Boyo has lodged a petition on
change.org to protest a noisy mosque at her South C apartment block.
According to Boyo, her decision to create the petition over the fact that the mosque was below a
residential apartment.
“I live next to that apartment, it’s a new apartment within the area where I live, that’s in South C
next to Ole sereni area, behind Next Gen mall,” Boyo said.
She added “I’ve lived here for the past four years and its been a quiet environment. But now every
morning we are woken up by this crazy noise. I have no issue with the mosque, its the noise. They
either reduce the noise or shut it down. There is noise from 4 am to 8pm it’s unbelievable. I mean
there is another mosque and the noise does not reach us so we are ok with that, but this one! It’s
inside an apartment block, how are tenants supposed to live above a mosque?” added the media
personality.
Religious laws states that no building should be above or below a mosque unless if it’s quarters for
Imaams.
It is frowned upon to have a building above the mosque as it is prohibited to relieve one’s self, trade,
engage in intimacy or have women who are menstruating above a mosque.
“For the past two months, we, the residents of South C (Bandari Apartments Phase 1 and 2, Highway
Estate, Real Estate, KPA Estate, Wambco apartments, Keliwad Apartments, Vision flats, Chabrin
Apartments, Sulton Park Apartments and its environs) have been subjected to untold suffering due
to noise from a recently constructed mosque’’ reads part of the petition.
The mosque has been opened at a new apartment complex (Taah Heights) and has become a
nuisance.
The loud noise, especially between 4am and 5am is making our lives unbearable. This petition seeks
to address this matter.
We demand that the noise be reduced or the mosque to be shut down. It is unfair that we can no
longer enjoy the peace and quietness that we had before.
We believe this is a matter that Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has pushing for and we seek his
address to the matter.”
