They later proceeded to Isiolo Woman Rep Mumina Bonaya's office adjacent to Isiolo Police Station.
Outside the office gate, they chanted "Mumina Must Go!" expressing their anger towards the MP for voting for the Bill during last week's Second Reading.

After about 15 minutes, they proceeded back to town, moved up past Baraza Park market and diverted to the left towards Isiolo Girls School before moving down via Transit hotel.
The protesters then converged at the starting point where they sang the national anthem while chanting anti-tax slogans and castigated MPs who voted for the Bill last week.
They later proceeded to the Isiolo-Moyale Highway where they lit tyres, a decision that was not embraced by the entire team but a section of the protesters.
Some tyres that had been placed next to a nearby police station were quickly thrown into the fire. All this while, police officers watched from a distance.
Police officers lobbed teargas canisters at the protesters after they stoned the County Police Commander's vehicle that was patrolling the town.
Billows of smoke could be seen in the town's skies as police officers pursued the demonstrators before further reinforcement was brought in.
