– Kenyan government sets up parliamentary committee to investigate Worldcoin.
– Committee will be chaired by Narok West MP Gabriel Tongoyo.
– Committee will have 42 days to investigate and submit findings to the House.
– Worldcoin faced backlash for its handling of personal information and data collection.
– Kenya became the first country to suspend Worldcoin operations and distribution of WLD.
Hot Take:
The Kenyan government’s decision to form a parliamentary committee to investigate Worldcoin reflects the growing concerns about the project’s handling of personal information and biometric data. Kenya was the first country to suspend Worldcoin operations due to concerns over data collection methodologies. The committee, chaired by Narok West MP Gabriel Tongoyo, will have 42 days to investigate and submit its findings. This move follows similar investigations initiated by Argentina, France, Germany, and the UK. It remains to be seen how these investigations will impact Worldcoin’s future operations and regulatory compliance.
