A Nairobi taxi driver has earned praise for his unusual honesty and kindness.
This comes after he returned cash, mobile phone, and other items to a client who forgot them in his car following a ride in the city.
The driver identified as Blessed Bena on Facebook says he realized his client left his bag in his car and when he checked what was inside, he found a phone worth over Sh100,000 and Sh90,000 in cash.
“Yesterday a rider forgot his bag in the cub with KSh90k and over KSh100k phone and he didn’t even seem pressured. It’s me who texted him to ask him to collect the missing bag and he told me to deliver in my free time. How much should I demand as a payment,” Bena jokingly posted on Uber Partners and Drivers Kenya Facebook group.
The client, Tony Irungu, a BBC journalist, confirmed receiving the items from the driver and thanked him for his act of sincerity.
“Thank you so much, Blessed Bena. You are an amazing persona. I have received everything as I left including cash, phone, passport and ID. God bless you,” Irungu said through Facebook.
