You raise an interesting question about the Kenyans' work, whether it is cheating. I normally wouldn't ask people what they intend to do with work they've commissioned from me, unless I suspect they intend to do harm with it, but that still leaves a lot of grey area.
If someone asks me to write a 10 page paper on the causes of the civil war... I'd suspect that it was for cheating. Then again, what if someone asked me to write, say, a sample python notebook showing how to run a k-means clustering on some data and do a color coded scatter plot of the various points and groups. I dunno, there's a chance it's an assignment, there's a chance they were told to do it for their job, there's a chance they just need some tech work done. In this case, I'd certainly feel fine doing the work without sticking my nose into what it's for.
Yeah, how much of an ethical obligation do you have to act on your suspicions? It's an interesting question... Anyway, whatever the case case, this is more of an abstract interest to me, we could probably find something to debate here, but in terms of how I feel about it, nah, this is hardly like some Death Star schematic, my feelings of judgyness toward the Kenyans are pretty close to zero here.
