It is said that content creators take home a meagre 40 per cent of the revenue generated with the company pockets the rest (60 per cent).
While it is true that some content creators are yet to receive their dues, some have over the past year made between Sh400 and Sh16,000.
The content aggregate company, headed by George Waititu, formerly of Ipsos Synovate is also accused of hiring an inexperienced Head of Department Esther Mukima. She was before joining Viusasa a production assistant and then moved to Zuku where she was relieved of her duties due to non-performance.
