    "content": "The Committee is greatly concerned that Kenyans are volunteering to give their eye iris scans in exchange for a digital identification (ID) and free cryptocurrency coin for approximately US$49.09 which is only about Kshs7,000. This matter demands that we critically evaluate the potential impact on our Nation’s economy, cyber security and data rights. The Committee is aware that the concept of world coin using biometric identification for distributing tokens raises significant privacy and data protection concerns. We must ensure that any biometric data collected is securely stored and managed adhering to the highest standards of data protection to safeguard our citizens sensitive information. The adoption of a new cryptocurrency opens avenues for cyber criminals to exploit vulnerabilities in the system. The committee will work with the relevant authorities to develop robust cybersecurity frameworks to counter potential threats and protect the financial assets of our citizens."
