Police on Friday lobbed tear gas at the supporters of Azimio leader Raila Odinga as they were making their way to Nairobi CBD.
This was after a rally at Kamukunji Grounds where the Azimio leader gave the way forward to his supporters.
The supporters were heard asking for water to neutralize the effects of tear gas.
Some carried water in bottles and used pieces of clothing to shield them from tear gas.
However, the convoy continued moving despite police lobbing more tear gas.
They were marching to Central Park, next to Uhuru Park.
While speaking at the Kamukunji rally, Raila said that he must reach there even if police officers try to block them.
"There are many ways to reach 'Rome', when they block one road, we use another. Today, our 'Rome' is called Central Park, that is where we shall meet after the Kamukunji rally," he said.
He asked his supporters to avoid violence and lead a peaceful walk to Central Park.
"We will just match peacefully saying we are tired," he stated.
This is despite police orders not to hold demos in CBD.
