Following their successful return of a suitcase containing a British tourist’s possessions and roughly $19,000 (£17,000) to him, two Kenyan airport employees and a police officer have received plaudits.
The traveler misplaced the bag at Wilson Airport in Nairobi, the country’s capital, shortly after arriving on a safari in the Maasai Mara game reserve. Before contacting the owner, airport staff and a policewoman discovered the luggage and checked it for explosives.
“The $19,000 in cash and several thousand Kenyan shillings were all present and accounted for. My cards were all discovered unharmed. All of my other possessions, including regalia my late grandma gave me, were also undamaged. For me, it was a daydream “In an email of appreciation to Kenyan police, Mr. Nickolson stated.
He claimed he had transported the large amount for the comfort and ease of mobility of his company.
Integrity is a core concept among staff members at the airport, according to Joseph Kabangi, the airport’s security supervisor, who spoke to the local Citizen TV.
