Kasule, thanks for your honesty
Feb 12, 2008
EDITOR—I would like to share a very nice experience in Kampala with your readers. One evening last week, I exchanged money at a forex bureau and then stopped at the Internet café on Makerere Hill Road near the Wandegeya junction to check my e-mail.
EDITOR—I would like to share a very nice experience in Kampala with your readers. One evening last week, I exchanged money at a forex bureau and then stopped at the Internet café on Makerere Hill Road near the Wandegeya junction to check my e-mail.
When I left the café, I forgot my bag on the back of the chair — with a large sum of money, cheque book and other personal items. The following morning, before I even realised the bag was missing, I was awakened by a phone call from my father in the US.
Apparently, Roger Kasule, the gentleman supervising the café, had gone to the effort and expense of contacting a friend of his in the US, who helped him figure out how to get in touch with my father. That morning, I went to the cafe and retrieved the bag and its contents, all intact.
Kasule told me: “I just thought, how I would feel if it were me who had lost this bag?â€
I have lived in Uganda since 2003 and have travelled in many parts of the world, but that was a rare and refreshing experience on many levels! Thanks you very much Kasule for your kindness, decency and consideration for others. Such honesty is essential for world peace.
