Kenyan Government Forms Committee to Investigate Worldcoin Crypto Project The Kenyan government has formed
a 15-member parliamentary committee to investigate the contentious Worldcoin project.
The committee,
led by Narok West MP Gabriel Tongoyo, has been allocated
a 42-day timeframe to investigate the operations of Worldcoin comprehensively. According to local news sources, the objective is to meticulously analyze
Worldcoin's activities and deliver its conclusions to the House.
Interior Cabinet Secretary
Kithure Kindiki, a pivotal figure in suspending Worldcoin's operations,
addressed the House committee, expressing the government's apprehensions regarding Worldcoin's activities involving registering citizens and collecting iris data. Kindiki emphasized that these actions pose significant
security threats.
This parliamentary assessment follows approximately
three weeks after the Kenyan authorities declared a suspension of Worldcoin's operations. This suspension remains in effect until pertinent public agencies
can confirm the complete absence of any potential risks to the general public.
