    "content": "In this day and age of terrorism, Kenyans need to be cautious. Allow me to use this opportunity to caution our young people and Kenyans at large that not everything that glitters is gold. As difficult as circumstances around the economy may be, please, do not rush for anything you hear that will give you an extra shilling. Some may be very enticing but could be very dangerous for you. I am not saying this one is dangerous because I do not know. I am waiting to hear from the Government. I want to believe that the Ministry of Interior and National Administration has taken all cautionary measures, including involving the National Intelligence Service, to establish who these people are. From the Statement request by Hon. Mukunji, the owner of this company, Worldcoin, Sam Altman has been banned from collecting biodata in his home country of USA. So, what is it that the Americans know about Sam Altman that the Kenyan State does not know that we can allow him to come and harvest all manner of data from our people? This matter only came to light because it was at KICC grounds. You can imagine how much more biodata they may have collected around the country. When the matter came up, and it was in the news last night, I saw in one of the WhatsApp groups in my constituency, in a remote village called Usigeti in Ndeiya, they were there to collect biodata. You can imagine if you entice people in our villages with little money, how many people will volunteer to just give whatever amount of biodata they can give in exchange for a few shillings or a few thousand shillings? The Government has a responsibility to protect its people, and its people includes their personal data. Our laws are very clear on that. I, therefore, commit that I will push the Cabinet Secretary and hopefully by tomorrow, latest Tuesday, to give a Statement. If he cannot come, I can get the Statement and read it out to the House. Thank you."
