    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to add my voice on this matter on Worldcoin. The world today is technological. Firstly, as a House, we need to realise that we may not be in a position to run away from technology. I also want to concur with what Hon. Ochieng’ has said. This country is experiencing very unfortunate situations, apart from the Shakahola killings that we hear of everyday and the problems that people go through. You cannot imagine at any minute that Worldcoin has been in this country for several months. They have been collecting this information from people, but it has not been reported. What happened to NIS which is feted with a lot of public coffers? It is one of the institutions that get almost anything they want. Unfortunately, today, we do not know the exact information that was collected through the iris biometric cryptocurrency project and how it will be used. Will we get the information or we will investigate? Even as we investigate, who is using it and for what purposes? If you keenly look at what this technological company does, you will see it does a lot of research. You might be walking around in this world and you are picked one day in some corridors or airports to be questioned or arrested because your iris was scanned and used to mismatch with some other things. This is an opportunity for this Parliament to take up the challenge, call the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration and NIS. It is very unfortunate that we are here watching people queueing for several days and no one can question what they are doing. They were actually bragging all over our Facebook that they were there collecting this information. It is unfortunate that the people who are giving this information are young. They are not poor, but they are just curious. That curiosity can land them into a bigger problem in future. Hon. Martha has put it across that the owner of Worldcoin is also the owner of ChatGPT which is a very complex thing. You can imagine when you ask for information and someone knows a lot of things about you. You also want to understand how they collected that information. As much as we are encouraging technology, these are some of the things that we… The Ministry of Interior and National Administration must use a lot of resources to understand what is happening in the technology world.
