Former Kenya Film Classification Board boss Ezekiel Mutua through his official social media page has shared a heartwarming act of kindness that he recently took part in.
According to Ezekiel he recently had a slight mix-up while making a M-pesa transaction, a move that coincidentally ended up being a learning lesson to not only him but the individual at the other end of the line as well.
"Sent someone 5k by mistake. When I realised I immediately started the reversal process with Safaricom only to get a message from the receiver thanking me for the Mpesa, saying that they were in dire straits and had prayed for a miracle," the Music Copyright Society of Kenya chief executive officer started off.
He went on to add that even with the alleged sob story he still asked the person on the other end of the line to refund his money.
Ezekiel maintained he had sent the money by mistake and needed it back.
"I told them that I had sent them the money by mistake and asked that they reverse the transaction," Ezekiel shockingly revealed.
He noted he knew and understood very well that the said individual could have refused or contorted all sorts of stories to convince him to forgo the money but they didn't, a move that melted the MCSK director general's heart.
Ezekiel maintains that after hearing the sob story he had decided to put the man to test so as to see how he'd fair.
"They did and I topped it up and sent it back to them... They passed the integrity test when they refunded the money when they could started playing monkey business. The first amount I sent to them was by mistake... The second was the miracle. Integrity pays!" Mutua shared as he reminded Kenyans of the importance of being truthful.
Maintaining that the money had received a real double blessing due to his admirable character.
