Waiganjo, the good Samaritan who returned Ksh100,000 mistakenly sent to him
A good Samaritan was left stranded after he returned Ksh100,000 that was mistakenly sent to him through a popular local bank.
The man, identified as Stephen Waiganjo, purposed to travel 62.8 km to ensure the money was returned safely.
Waiganjo made the long journey and proceeded to a local bank where he reversed the bank transaction.
The money had been erroneously sent to his mobile money account on January 27, 2022.

Stephen Waiganjo, the good Samaritan who returned Ksh100,000 mistakenly sent to him
He travelled from Eldama Ravine to Nakuru where he initiated the transfer of the cash but was left stranded in Nakuru without fare to travel back home.
The Samaritan needed Ksh400 to facilitate his travel and resorted to borrowing money from friends. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
According to the bank, Waiganjo received the amount on January 27, 2022, from the bank branch based in Nairobi at around 10 am and has since been waiting for someone to lay claim. It is presumed that Waiganjo’s phone number was entered into a payment schedule mistakenly or that there was an error on just one digit of his phone number. The management of the bank only thanked Waiganjo for his honesty and kindness noting that people may be poor but rich in character. 
According to 40-year-old Waiganjo, his first thought was that the transaction was fake and a popular hoax scheme where con artists send SMS messages that show funds have been sent on mobile money. To confirm the transaction, he withdrew Ksh25,000 via M-Pesa.
“I told my wife I had received money from a financial institution but she could not believe it was true.
I withdrew some of it to confirm and kept the cash in wait for the owner to seek a refund,” Waiganjo was quoted by the Standard.
The bank, however, is yet to reveal if they will be honoring stranded Waiganjo for his honesty.

U pray to God for a financial breakthrough and when he sends your angel you send him away…I can’t comprehend.

Lol… He thought that kindness and honesty and whatnot are things that get rewarded. From experience,
it’s all hogwash and a lie. Unless you are lucky and get rewarded by other gullible humans who think financial success
or breakthrough is achieved by being nice and humble. Good behavior is just good but don’t expect any reward.

The bank should honor the poor man for his honesty, this will present a picture of imitation by others.

KCB doesn’t give fare, I returned 100k some years back at Machakos branch and I went home back on borrowed fare as well
