Kenyan Government Forms Parliamentary Committee to Investigate Worldcoin

Odaily Planet Daily News The Kenyan government established a 15-member parliamentary committee led by Naroxi MP Gabriel Tongoyo to investigate the encryption project Worldcoin. The committee will investigate Worldcoin within 42 days and submit a report to the House committee. Kenya suspended Worldcoin operations nearly three weeks ago after the project failed to comply with a government order to stop scanning users' irises. Home Cabinet Minister Kindiki Kithure, who played a key role in suspending Worldcoin’s operations, told the House committee that the government is concerned about Worldcoin’s activities to register citizens and collect eyeball/iris data, all of which he claimed pose serious security risks.
