Elsewhere, a young man won the hearts of Kenyans online after returning Ksh 38,000 to its owner.
Paul Captain said he collected the bag containing the cash after boarding a Kenya Mpya bus along Thika Road en route to Thika town.
He found the stash of money after several passengers alighted the bus at Witeithie area.
“I saw the bag that was zipped and I dragged it with my leg. On touching it I felt there was something inside. When I disembarked, I went and sat at Uhuru Park in Thika opposite the police station. When I opened it, I found some bundle of notes
“Something was telling me to keep the money so as to settle some bills I had but I decided to talk to some of my friends. 80% told me not to keep it,” he said.
Captain later made a Facebook post asking the owner to claim it by describing the contents of the bag.
“A lady reached out to me and stated that the money belonged to her sister. The sister was set to rent a house and also buy some basic commodities as she started a new phase of her life. She passed the challenge by describing how the amount was stashed
“She also narrated to me how passengers confronted the conductor for charging us Sh100 rather than Sh80 from Nairobi to Thika. That’s when I realized that it was her money,” he added.
Captain later posted a video delivering the cash to its owner in Witeithie.
