Honest Man Returns Sh100,000 Erroneously Deposited to His MPesa by NCBA Bank
Officials at the NCBA Bank Nakuru branch were left stunned after a man voluntarily returned Sh100,000 that was erroneously deposited into his MPesa account last month.
Stephen Waiganjo, a resident of Shauri Yako village in Eldama Ravine, Baringo County, returned the money to the bank on Thursday morning.
The 40-year-old casual worker at the Eldama Ravine Sub-County Hospital received the money from the NCBA Bank Nairobi branch at around 10:00 am on January 27th.
For three weeks, Waiganjo has been waiting for someone to claim the money but this did not happen, prompting him to present himself to the bank’s Nakuru branch on Thursday, where the transaction was authorized for reversal.
The initiator of the transaction said Waiganjo's phone number was entered into a payment schedule by mistake or maybe there was a mistake on one digit of the customer's phone number.
The bank management praised Waiganjo for his honesty and kindness saying "people may be poor but rich in character.”

Let's get his mpesa account number.
Ten here and ten there can add up fast and let us thank him accordingly.
I agree! I will reward him too!
And not even a reward? Think he’ll do it next time? Can’t eat kind words.
The bank should have rewarded the guy to reflect appreciation even to us all.I reversed ksh.7,500 to a sender and he sent me back Ksh.1,500 as appreciation.
If he didn't return DCI would have caught him
You dont have to be rewarded every time you do unexpected good deed! Wakenya mmezidi!!!
It’s a gesture. Sheesh
This man should be nominated for an MCA position. He is not a thief which cannot be said of most Kenyans.
Mwakilishi has given given us stories where people have been in trouble for spending money that was mistakenly deposited into their accounts. This gentleman man have feared the consequences of being dishonest...Nontheless he did the right thing as to whether he should be rewarded for that act, ask him?
