In a city where street boys aka Chokoraa snatch passersby valuables, finding a one that can return your valuables is like looking for data bundles in a desert!
But to one woman, was shocked today when a hunger strike boy from the streets of Nairobi returned her valuable.
The lady identified only as Mildred posted.
Today in the afternoon, our business needed to take the day cash to the bank, it was around 4pm. Like always, I picked up a bag, placed around 700k in, unfortunately, today, there were lots of 500/200 notes so the stash took up more space than normal.
Each bundled into 100k as always, pressed in the bag and headed on to the bank. On the way however, the zipper on the bag caved in and spat out 2 bundles of notes ~ 200k.
Didn’t notice it, proceeded to cross the road from Kimathi Street headed to Kenyatta avenue.
She continued the Irony
I stopped to listen to what he had to say, to all our amazement and utter shock, he pulled out the 2 stacks, “uliangusha pesa uko nyuma” Checked the bag, zipper was open 2 pieces were missing. I didn’t have any words for this young man, I was completely shocked.
NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER.
So why did the boy return the cash?
“inaeza Kuwa ni pesa ya school fees Ama mtu ako mgonjwa mahali sasa siwezi chukua”.
While still there he insisted, “weka pesa kwa bank Kwanza ndio tuongee, unaweza poteza tena”.
Something else surprised Mildred
Went to the teller deposited, no a single note missing. After I was done, went back out and the guy was nowhere to be seen. The only thing I know, is, that he is called Don.”
