Human Rights Activist and Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah recently took to Twitter to commend Pastor Nganga of the Neno Evangelism Church for a benevolent act captured in a video. The video showcased Pastor Nganga extending a generous hand to members of his congregation who happen to be hawkers, offering them a significant donation of Kes 10,000 each to support their hawking businesses.
In addition to the monetary assistance, Pastor Nganga imparted valuable advice to the hawkers, encouraging them to organize themselves into a collective group. The purpose of forming this group was to foster a sense of community and to facilitate weekly contributions of about Kes 20 from each member, which would serve as savings for their future endeavors.
Okiya Omtatah, known for his commitment to human rights causes, expressed his admiration for Pastor Nganga’s philanthropic gesture through a tweet. He highlighted the pastor’s act of blessing 41 hawkers attending the church service with a substantial financial gift of Kes 10,000 each. Omtatah quoted a proverb, emphasizing the reciprocal nature of generosity, stating, “He who is generous will be blessed, for he gives some of his food to the poor.”
This commendation from Omtatah sheds light on the positive impact that acts of kindness and community support can have on individuals striving to make a living in challenging circumstances. The acknowledgment of Pastor Nganga’s initiative by a prominent human rights advocate further underscores the importance of recognizing and appreciating efforts that contribute to the well-being of marginalized members of society.
Omtatah’s tweet serves not only as praise for a specific act but also as a reminder of the interconnectedness of generosity and blessings, echoing a sentiment that transcends religious and cultural boundaries.
