The youth in Kisii, in their hundreds, Tuesday stormed the streets, in solidarity with thousands of others across the country, agitating for the release of all detained protesters.
They barricaded the streets adjacent to the town's restive Capital Roundabout chanting anti-government slogans.
They also pressed for the sacking of Prime Secretary Musalia Mudavadi whose occupation of office they said was unconstitutional.
They also rejected the claim that they are being funded to hold protests.
"I have been participating in these demos from day one and I have never seen a coin in my hand or mpesa as a participant," said Stephen Makori, a youth.
A few officers deployed into the streets kept rooted as the youth protested around them.
For the better part of the morning, the demonstrators moved from street to street singing anti-government slogans.
As the protests went on, the traders across the town continued to remain edgy.
By 1pm, most shops had closed for fear of being looted.
Those that had not closed were quickly forced to with youth pelting stones at those who were in operation.
Even hotels and eateries were not spared.
Clients that were taking view of the protesters down the streets were hurled with stones forcing proprietors to close in a hurry.
Those who spoke to journalists said they want solid reforms to end the protests.
