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

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

Eric Osenya, chairman UDA Kisumu county, said 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 ran 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 rowdy mob has been protesting for the better part of Monday morning in honour of opposition leader Raila Odinga's call for mass actions.

Businesses were disrupted as some residents stayed away from the streets.
