🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪Kenya, or officially the Republic of Kenya, is a state in Eastern Africa. Currently, Kenya is one of the most rapidly developing countries in Africa. In terms of Bitcoin, Kenya — as an economic center of the continent — has had a leading position in cryptocurrency use. Bitcoin mining in Kenya has become very popular among the community due to several reasons, such as less volatility relative to the national currency, the ability to earn money, etc., so even the local mass media spread the information about Bitcoin, which has led to a higher level of awareness among citizens of the country. The technology of blockchain in Kenya is considering for use by the real estate market to register ownership and for auditing, in order to make its services convenient and transparent.

The Worldcoin cryptocurrency project has run into another roadblock — this time in Kenya, where the government has formed a 15-member parliamentary committee to investigate the controversial asset.

The Kenyan government formed a 15-member committee headed by Narok West Member of Parliament Gabriel Tongoyo to look into the controversial crypto project, reported a local daily. The parliamentary committee has 42 days to investigate the project and submit its report to the House committee.

Cointelegraph reached out to the MP to get some insights into his concerns and case against Worldcoin but didn’t get a response by publishing time.

The parliamentary investigation into the crypto project comes nearly three weeks after Kenya suspended Worldcoin’s operations after the project failed to comply with government orders to stop scanning users’ iris.#kenyacrypto #WLD
