Days ago, I accidentally hit a parked Lexus . I felt terrible knowing that the owner would eventually return to find the car in that condition.
I waited for about 20 minutes, hoping the owner would come back. When no one showed up, I wrote a note, placed it under the windshield wiper, and drove away. In the note, I sincerely apologized, accepted full responsibility for the damage, and included my phone number.
When I got home, I kept expecting a call from the owner, but none came. I became worried, wondering if the wind had blown the note away or if the owner had simply not seen it.
This morning, my phone finally rang. It was the owner of the vehicle. I apologized again and explained how I had waited at the scene before leaving the note. As we talked, we switched to a WhatsApp video call.
During our conversation, I learned something that deeply moved me. Had I not left that note, the driver's life could have been turned upside down. The owner explained that it was his driver who had taken the vehicle out. When the driver returned with the note in tears, he admitted what had happened.
The owner said that if the note had not been there, he would have assumed the driver was responsible. He intended to have him arrested, compel him to pay for the damaged headlight, and dismiss him from his job—despite the fact that the driver's salary could never cover the cost of the repair.
I pleaded with him not to take such action. He replied that there was no longer any need since I had accepted responsibility.
He initially planned to send me his account details for the repairs, but later told me not to worry about it.
I left that conversation overwhelmed with gratitude to God. A simple decision to be honest and take responsibility may have saved a man from losing his job, his dignity, and his livelihood.
Behind every worker is a family. That driver is someone's husband and someone's father. Had events unfolded differently, his wife and children would have borne the pain of consequences they did not deserve.
Integrity may seem costly in the moment, but it can save lives, preserve livelihoods, and restore faith in humanity.

There was a time when Safaricom would send everyone birthday wishes and even that 1GB birthday gift.
A time when calling 100 meant getting help almost immediately.
A time when data bundles actually felt worth it.
Now birthdays pass like any other day for many.
You can call 100 the whole day, and no one picks up.
Maybe they seem like small things, but those little customer-first touches are part of what made Bob Collymore’s era stand out.
Ndegwa, please restore customer care now.

@DCI_Kenya tuko same inchi?
@sholard_mancity I beg to disagree...reasons being with phones, the numbers are registered under our individual names whereas with tokens, most meters are not in our names ( tenants ) but owners hence the difficulty. My personal take...
