Is anyone forced to appear in the Churchill shows?
I suspect they are made an offer, they go and think about it and find it reasonable. Then they sign in. If they think it is too low, they can simply refuse it....especially after proving their worth.
What Ndambuki is paid does not come into the equation at all...
Like I keep saying, the price of an item has very little relationship to its cost!
When a street hawker offers your something at Sh2,000, you don't ask him how much he bought it. You just inspect the item, figure out whether it is good value and make a counter offer.....say, sh200.. If the hawker thinks he can still make a profit at this price, he will accept it...else, he refuses....
In the whole negotiation, the cost of the item does not feature... even when the hawker tells you that the thin cost him sh1,000, he is lying just to convince you to up your offer...
It is the same with payment negotiations; you don't peg your demand on how much the employer will make from your service. The moment you do that you lose the deal... because there is some one else willing to take much less!
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
