Kenyan Government Forms Parliamentary Committee to Investigate Worldcoin

Kenyan government has established a 15-member parliamentary committee led by Narok West MP Gabriel Tongoyo to investigate the cryptocurrency project Worldcoin. The committee will investigate Worldcoin within 42 days and submit a report to the House Committee. Three weeks ago, Kenya suspended the operation of Worldcoin because the project failed to comply with the government's order to stop scanning users' irises. Interior Cabinet Secretary Kindiki Kithure, who played a key role in suspending Worldcoin's operation, told the House Committee that the government is concerned about Worldcoin's activities of registering citizens and collecting eye/iris data, claiming that all of these activities pose serious security risks.
