The youth were protesting against a move by another group from the area to participate in demonstration along city streets in support of Ms Waiguru against claims of alleged corruption at NYS.

The statement further said the protestors accused those who took part in the demonstration of deliberately spoiling the name of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga by claiming that he did not initiate development projects in the area when he was MP.
