During the raid on Tuesday, protesters also set ablaze a section of the Supermarket.
The UDA MP, who supported the Finance Bill 2024, was on the receiving end of protesters' anger after they stormed his supermarket on Tuesday and went away with stock and equipment.
Njoroge, who operates a supermarket chain in the Mt Kenya region, said the looted Nyeri branch employed over 350 people.
He was one of several MPs whose houses and offices were raided by irate protesters on Tuesday.
Others affected were Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, Molo MP and National Assembly Finance Committee Chair Kuria Kimani.
Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung'wah and his Dagoretti South counterpart John Kiarie had their NG-CDF offices burnt.
"The scrap metal dealers are now scavenging for the metallic stands that remained after the inferno," Njoroge said, as quoted by the Standard.
But despite the massive losses incurred, the MP did not regret voting Yes for the Bill.
He said the bill had lots of things that would have benefited his Nyeri people.
"The people of Kieni stood to benefit from the Bill. We are in an agricultural zone where our people farm onions, potatoes, eggs and millk. They would have enjoyed on the way to the bank because the competition from outside the country would have been reduced if the bill succeeded," he said.
