The youth were reportedly angry with the Jubilee administration, which they said had ignored their pleas.

Anti-riot police officers were forced to lob teargas canisters at the protesting group of youth who staged demos and barricaded the Meru-Embu highway in protest over construction of a link road.

The youth alleged that the Meru Senator Kiraitu Murungi failed to influence the launch of tarmacking of Kieni Kia Ndege-Mworoga-Mitunguu by President Kenyatta during his tour in County.

The youth even threatened to torch some PSV matatus that were caught in the fracas.
