    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I am making a request for Statement regarding circumstances leading to the death of Tom Adala. Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs regarding the death of Mr Tom Adala, who was an Assistant Director at the National Intelligence Service (NIS). Mr Tom Adala was found dead on 5th June 2024 at his residence at Kirichwa Villas in the Kilimani area under unclear circumstances. Mr Adala was a dedicated public servant who had been recently reassigned from his role to the NIS Training Centre. It is alleged that the deceased officer took his life due to depression, stress and humiliation at work. The circumstances surrounding his death call for thorough and transparent investigation to ensure justice to his family and to address any work-related circumstances that may have led to his tragic death so as to secure the integrity of the NIS and other national security institutions. It is against this background that I seek for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs on the following: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
