Man Returns Bag Full Of Dollars Gets Sacked

The Drone Media has interviewed a washing bay attendant who quickly returned a bag full of dollars worth sh600m in Rubaga, Kampala.

Accordingly to him, he returned the bag to get a good name. Unfortunately, he has been sacked by his bosses because he kept the money until the owner arrived.

Explaining his ordeal, he elaborated that, he discovered the money bag after work on one fateful day. After opening it, he discovered it was full of dollars and few Uganda shillings. He counted it and it was worth sh600m ( $170,000).

The next day, the owner of the bag came looking for it. Everyone denied seeing it. The last person to be contacted was him. They telephoned him and he confirmed that the money was with him. He took it home because there was nobody around at that time. He later brought it to the rightful owner who was a pastor.

As surprised as the pastor was, he started throwing some of the dollars on him and blessed him for being so faithful.

The next day, his boss called him  “the good samaritan” and asked him not to come back to the washing bay again. His reason being that, when the money was seen, he should have handed the dollars over to the station manager for safe keeping.

However, he rather took it home. Efforts to explain that there was nobody around at that time proved futile. The young man however says that, he is having no regret for returning the bag full of dollars. He says the blessings he got are better than any other thing the manager he thinks of.

The story of the Washing Bay Attendant is hot among the boda boda riders in Rubaga. Many are cursing Kanaabe, saying that he will die a poor man.  However, the attendant says his riches are in Heaven.
