Meet the Matatu operator who returned a passanger’s cell phone after dropping it in a matatu
Many of us have always considered matatu operators to be very bad people but in one case it is not so.Edwin Maloba a 39 year old matatu manager of Lucky Transporters fleet of matatus operating the Nairobi-Lang’ata route showed a noble action after returning a passenger’s cell phone after he had dropped it in one of the matatus that he manages.
Mike Nyagwoka a Media personality working for Radio Maisha said that he dropped his phone in a matatu while going to work and was not expecting to find it .
“I alighted and realised I didn’t have my phone. I immediately knew I had dropped it in a matatu somewhere. I said a few goodbye prayers, got a new phone and moved on,” said Nyagwoka
When Maloba got hold of the handset it was off but he was wise enough to know that if he puts his simcard he would definately find the owner and thats exactly what he did.
He went through the messages and contacted one of the persons who Nyagwoka had texted,and thats how he got linked with the owner of the cell phone.
“I inserted my SIM card, accessed the SMS conversations and called one of the people he had contacted. We then agreed on how he would pick the phone,”
According to Nyagwoka he had owned the phone for close to three years and was stressed as his phone had alot of data and important contacts,school work and so he knew all that was lost and he had to start afresh.
Maloba who has been operating in the matatu industry for close to 14 years now says that he has strong christian morals and he feels bad betraying his faith by doing the wrong things when he knows the right things.
He added saying that he understood this when he got saved .He is a strong believer of Anglican church.
“Life has taught me that if I return what is lost, I get more back. If I keep it, I will be the loser at the end of the day,”He said
He also said that most people drop so many items including important documents in his matatus some he try contacting them via email which goes unanswered but he still keeps them until when their owners come picking them up.
“Honesty is a good virtue in this industry. I realised it when I got saved a few years into my career and that is the reason why I am now a big investor back home in the Western Region. I am also a member of Saccos and chamas because I value my legally owned money.” said Maloba
Here are some of the reactions from Mike’s facebook friends:
