"Ya Baba! Jeshi ya Baba!" 

Raila's convoy went through City Stadium, Kamukunji, as supporters followed the convoy shouting 'unga! unga!' 

While at Eastleigh, he addressed his supporters saying the struggle will continue until their demands are met. 

"Mambo bado, ndio tumeanza," he said while supporters were shouting 'Ndio Baba!'

He also said the demos will be held every Monday.  As he was moving through the streets, the crowd increased. 

While outside Serena Hotel,  officers sprayed water on Raila's convoy. 

Moments after Raila got into his designated car,  water was sprayed in a bid to disperse the protesters.

Police threw a teargas canister at the protesters who retaliated by throwing it back at them.

Earlier in the day, a number of protesters defying the order not to engage in the demo were arrested. 

Rowdy youths have been pelting police vehicles with stones with police responding by lobbing teargas canisters.

Protesters also stoned a vehicle owned by a media house that was ferrying media personnel covering the demo.

His final destination is not clear as his convoy is still on the road, as he is accompanied by Azimio leaders and supporters.
