Residentials around the Jacaranda Grounds were also affected by the tear gas thrown at the location with many opting to stay indoors.
“There is tear gas all over my house. My kids are crying and my neighbors are facing the same," a resident was quoted by a local daily.
Videos shared to Pulselive.co.ke, show the irate youth burning property by the roadsides.
At the same time, ODM Communication Director Phillip Etale accused Jubilee led crowds of dumping human feces at the ground to block the memorial service from going on.
"Even if they pour human poop or garbage, Kenyans will be at Jacaranda today. They will smell human waste but the memorial will go on," Etale tweeted.
