ICT and Digital Economy Cabinet Secretary (CS) Eliud Owalo has thrown the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner under the bus over the operation of WorldCoin in the country.

Mr Owalo said the data boss's office went ahead to register Worldcoin as a data controller despite directing it to cease operations, citing non-compliance with the Data Protection Act.
