The National Assembly Ad Committee of Inquiry into the Worldcoin operations has heard that the crypto wallet app came into Kenya disguised as a research project.

Presenting its views amid investigations into the controversial Worldcoin operations in Kenya, the National Computer and Cybercrimes Coordination Committee (NCCCC) told the parliamentary committee that Worldcoin registered as a data controller in Kenya, allowing the company to determine how to use the collected data in the country.
