CoinVoice has recently learned that on October 2, the Kenyan ad hoc committee investigating the Worldcoin incident stated in a report submitted to the House of Representatives last Thursday that Worldcoin's actions "constitute espionage and pose a threat to the country's status." They hope that the Criminal Investigation Bureau will investigate two related foreign companies, Tools for Humanity (TFH) Corp and Tools for Humanity GmbH, suspected of operating illegally in Kenya.
The committee, chaired by Narok West MP Gabriel Tongoyo, also wants Parliament to harmonize laws to regulate the country’s cryptocurrency regime. In its findings, the committee noted that “the above statement is inconsistent with the submission made by CS on September 11, 2023. In the submission, CS stated that Worldcoin started collecting data in the public domain on May 31, 2021 and applied to be registered as a data controller in Kenya on August 22, 2022, a year after they started their activities in Kenya, contrary to the Data Protection Act 2019.” [Original link]
