A 15-member delegation has 42 days to investigate Worldcoin’s operations and report back to the National Assembly.
According to BlockBeats, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has formed a joint ad hoc committee to investigate the cryptocurrency corporation Worldcoin. The 15-member team is led by Narok West MP Gabriel Tongoyo and includes representatives from the departmental committees on Administration and Internal Security, Communication and Innovation, and Tourism and Wildlife. The committee has 42 days to finish its inquiry and report to the House.
After meeting with MPs to discuss the suspension of Worldcoin’s operations, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kindiki Kithure and his ICT counterpart Eliud Owalo are set to testify before the committee. Kindiki added that the government is concerned about Worldcoin’s registration process, which entails gathering eyeball and iris data from residents.
Security, financial services, and protection agencies have been entrusted with assessing the validity and legality of Worldcoin’s activities as part of the inquiry. Meanwhile, the court has halted the company’s operations, and Justice Nixon Sifuna has ordered Worldcoin to keep any data obtained between April of last year and August of this year.
