> Workers were paid between $1.46 and $3.74 an hour, according to a Sama spokesperson.
I don't like how journalists never adjust the salary when doing those conversions. Yes $1.46 in the US sounds like the most abdject poverty, but Kenya is not the US. The minimum salary in Kenya is $1.05 so even their lower bound is 39% higher than the minimum salary with their upper bound being 358% higher.
For job that while psychologically scarring for some, does not require any education aside from being able to read, that really doesn't seem that bad.
