PHOTO CAPTION: Michael Ndalo, a KRA employee died Friday evening in a suspected suicide mission after jumping off the Times Tower building A Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) employee died yesterday afternoon after falling at the Authority’s headquarters at Times Tower Nairobi.
KRA Deputy Commissioner, Marketing and Communication, Grace Wandera said the agency's medical team performed emergency first aid on the employee before medical assistance arrived.
However, KRA said that the staffer succumbed to injuries while being attended to by medical personnel.
The identity of the deceased staffer who worked as a revenue officer has since been identified Michael Ndalo.
Interestingly, hours before he died, Mr Ndalo had posted a series of cryptic messages on Facebook which paint a disturbing picture of a man that was deeply troubled.
In one of the posts, he noted that money can give someone comfort but not happiness. “What is designed to give you comfort and not happiness-Money. Thank you and God bless you,” he wrote.
The further you dig into his profile, the more it becomes rather evident that he was battling depression, or perhaps, trapped in some sort of religious cult. In a similar incident in 2018, an assistant manager at Price Waterhouse Coopers(PwC) died after jumping off the 17th floor of the Delta building.
He was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.
He was an Assistant Manager at the business unit of the company.
