Kisumu County UDA offices have been vandalised as protestors took to the streets to demonstrate over the high cost of living.

Several items have been stolen, two vehicles have been burnt and properties of unknown value destroyed in melee.

Kisumu County UDA Chairman, Eric Osenya, says they were held hostage by the protestors who stormed the premises.

He said they locked themselves in the office for some time even as protesters pelted stones at the offices.

And when they dispersed to regroup, the officials got an opportunity to run away and hide in the nearby hotels.

"When we got out, they came in vandalised everything. They took all the computers, laptops, cameras, seats and curtains," he said.

The protests have been ongoing since Monday morning in honour of opposition leader Raila Odinga's call for mass action.
