His Molo residence is said to have been invaded by vexed protesters who made away with valuable goods and later set his house on fire.
Other leaders whose properties were invaded include Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi whose nightclub, Timba XO, was invaded and protesters took spirits and property of unknown value.
In Nyeri, protesters looted and set fire to the Chieni supermarket. According to reports, the business belongs to Kieni MP Njoroge Wainaina.
