The Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) gave Worldcoin the greenlight to operate in Kenya, ICT Cabinet Secretary Eliud Owalo has said.

Owalo, who was appearing before parliament's Ad-hoc committee probing Worldcoin's operations in the country, said the commission's office was fully aware that Worldcoin had not met data protection requirements.
