Space Lounge sits less than a kilometre from Muhindi mweusi supermarket that was looted on March 20 during the protests.

The aftermath of the looting left the owners of the supermarket with a loss estimated to be more than Sh15 million in a single day.

"I was around for the better part of the day. I heard some of the protesters saying they were from Kayole and Kasarani areas, I think that is why shops and stalls around were looted," Anne Mumbua, a trader in Tasia shared.

Several shops along Outering Road mostly between Fedha and Kware were broken into, leaving the owners counting losses in the wake of Thursday protests.

The National Police Service, in a statement, condemned the act of violence and vandalism during the Thursday protests.

Inspector General Japeth Koome blamed the Azimio supporters over what he described as unlawful demonstrations in Nairobi and other parts of the country.

"Investigations into the incidents of the robbery that have been reported are underway, and those culpable will be prosecuted," IG Koome stated.

A section of Kenya Railways fence that was recently put up was brought down by protestors around Pipeline estate.

In the evening hours, several shops and stalls were broken into around Bee Centre along Manyanja Road.

Even as calls for sobriety, peace, and dialogue among some quarters among the church leaders reverberate, both the Azimio coalition and the government have stood their ground on their demands.
