Kisii on Tuesday witnessed another round of protests as youth returned to the streets to call on President William Ruto to undertake reforms in his government.
Others, however, said they wanted him to relinquish power over the spiraling cost of living in the country.
In dozens, they pitched camp at the Kisii town roundabout hooting vuvuzelas.
Later, they walked in the streets chanting anti-government slogans.
Some placards read, 'Our lives matter'.
They faulted Kenya Kwanza legislators from the county over what they termed as 'misleading the region' during the last General Elections to support the current regime.
"Look, that bottom-up agenda was all hogwash. Can you imagine I cannot afford even underwear today," Evans Bororo, a protester said.
Bororo said the conversation was no longer about the controversial Finance Bill which has since been withdrawn, but the resignation of the President.
"That's our agenda now, not the Finance Bill, and he should do so now," he told journalists.
Josephine Bosire, a university student, said Ruto has not appeared remorseful enough in regard to the Tuesday violent anti-tax protests in Nairobi that left several protesters dead.
"He has not given us the way forward even after he was asked that he give them a state burial. I am hoping there shall be no other deaths today," she said.
Police deployments around Kisii town streets remained low as the protests began building up by 9.30 am.
At least three officers were stationed at each supermarket in the town to thwart any looting attempts.
Business at the main grocery market downtown picked up to a slow start as most traders kept off for the better part of Tuesday morning.
Those doing business around the town were forced to quickly fold as protesters swarmed the area.
