What has worth is worth\npaying for. By paying your own way you stay clear of gratitude, guilt and\ndeceit. It is also often wise to pay the full price \u2014 there is no cutting\ncorners with excellence. Be lavish with your money and keep it circulating, for\ngenerosity is a sign and a magnet for power. This is the exact trap the union officials\nfound themselves in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the\nLabour Laws, you cannot be a union leader and at the same time holding a managerial\nposition in an organisation where you represent workers. That\u2019s is conflict of\ninterest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Maloba and Miheso\nare to contest in the forthcoming elections, they ought to have resigned the\ncurrent managerial positions six months to the elections and that has not been\ndone. Anyway, that\u2019s an issue they will agree themselves with the nurses they\nrepresent before the elections day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his book \u2018Robert\nGreene continues: \u201cIn the realm of power, everything must be judged by its\ncost, for everything has a price. What is offered for free or at a bargain\noften comes with a psychological price tag \u2014 complicated feelings of\nobligation, compromises with quality, the insecurity these comprises bring etc.\nThe powerful learn early to protect their most valuable resource: independence\nand room to maneuver. Being open and flexible also teaches the value of\nstrategic generosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knun Vihiga\nChapter is led by lame duck leaders who have failed completely to address the\ngrievances of nurses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"821\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/horizonnews.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-20201121-WA0067-821x1024.jpg?v=1605984573\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horizonnews.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-20201121-WA0067-821x1024.jpg 821w, https:\/\/horizonnews.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-20201121-WA0067-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/horizonnews.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-20201121-WA0067-768x958.jpg 768w, https:\/\/horizonnews.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-20201121-WA0067-696x869.jpg 696w, https:\/\/horizonnews.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-20201121-WA0067.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 821px) 100vw, 821px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s take\nstock of healthcare workers who were employed in May 2019, upon recruitment and\nposting to their respective stations, the County Public Service Board (CPSB)\nnullified their appointments on grounds that the process was marred by\nirregularities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They got a reprieve\nand were reinstated by the court.
