Kampala Capital City Authority has issued new guidelines impacting Pentecostal churches, many of which operate from temporary or rented buildings. The regulations address noise levels as churches increasingly find themselves located within residential communities. Authorities are shifting the focus from *if* churches will comply to *when* they will implement soundproofing measures. This move signals a stricter approach to managing noise pollution stemming from places of worship. The guidelines aim to balance religious practice with the quality of life for nearby residents. The new rules are expected to significantly alter worship practices for many congregations in the city. Further details regarding specific requirements and enforcement are anticipated.
