About 33 people arrested in Nakuru during the fuel protest were arraigned in court on Tuesday.
Twenty protesters who hail from Free Area and other estates, were fined Sh2,000 each or serve a 30-day jail term after they admitted to obstructing the city streets and the Nakuru-Nairobi highway.
One person denied the charge before Nakuru Senior Magistrate Vincent Adet and was released on a Sh5,000 cash bail.
