Amber Ray said not even clubs made the noise equivalent to the one religious sects were making.
“I respect religion but this is so wrong in all ways, all this noise at 6 am and imagine we are on the 7th floor plus to make it worse we don't even understand what they are saying. I swear I have not seen any club make this much noise. Sakaja is this fair?” Amber Ray said.

As a result, the governor said the joints that already existed would only function as bars and restaurants, with limited hours of operation.
