Heartless neighbours
The tragic loss of a number of women of the PCEA Women Guild drawn from various churches across Thika in Tanga Tanzania over the weekend brought grief not only to the respective families but also to the East Africa region as a whole. Not so long, another crash happened now on Kenyan soil but involving Ugandan Military air force wing. An interesting observation of how onlookers responded to the incidents showed that Kenyans saved lives with no condition at all while the Tanzanians demanded money first before they could do any rescue assistance. With the process of integration of East African region countries, the Tanzanians action and gesture portrayed them as heartless people who have least care for their neighbours and life of another in general. Whereas not everyone possesses the biblical Samaritan heart who responded to a needy situation by the roadside (Luke 11:33-34) but at least a little concern should have been shown by our Tanzanians “brothers."
