22 students before court were however released on a Ksh 500 cash bail.
Two other students scheduled to appear in the court failed to appear hence prompting an arrest warrant to be issued.
This comes just day after the students went on rampage causing chaos in Nairobi's CBD.
The students barricaded roads with some taking advantage of the protest by harassing and looting from motorists.
Police were forced to use tear gas canisters to disperse the students who were marching along parliament and Jeevanjee gardens.
In a quick rejoinder, Education Cabinet Secretary Prof Jacob Kaimenyi denied the claims of plans to increase tuition fees.
In a statement to newsrooms,the Education Secretary said such an increment was not possible without consultations with all stakeholders.
Kaimenyi added that a fee increment must be initiated by University Councils then deliberated upon through a consultative process which should involve stakeholders and approved by the Cabinet Secretary for Education.
Key stakeholders in this process include Parliament, Senate, Commission for University Education, Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service Board, University Students’ leadership.
