It may be wiser to pay Raila, Kalonzo their perks

If I were the one, I would pay CORD leaders Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka their terminal dues. This would be driven by several factors, but especially by two critical ones – human resource (HR) and political perspectives.

Jesus told the parable of a man who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard. He agreed to pay them a fixed amount for the day. At nine o’clock he brought in other workers with whom he agreed to pay the same wage. He did the same at noon, at 3pm, and finally at 5pm. It was not until pay time that the workers discovered they had all received the same amount. Some complained about why those who had worked for only one hour had been paid the same amount with them. But the master answered one of them, “Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn’t you agree to work for one denarius? Take your pay and go.”
