Rwanda to shut 700 churches over safety, hygiene
 

KIGALI: Rwandan authorities said Wednesday that 714 churches and one mosque would be shut in Kigali for allegedly failing to meet safety and hygiene standards.?Some churches conduct their worship services in shoddy and unclean structures, to the detriment of people´s health and safety,? said Anastase Shyaka, head of the Rwanda Governance Board, which monitors public and private organisations. ?Cases of noise pollution have also been reported while some operate without the required operation permits,? he added. He said the shutdown ? which mainly affects Pentecostal churches ? would go into effect Thursday. The churches have been asked to ?halt operations until they meet the requirements.?
