    <p>Sam Altman’s controversial cryptocurrency <a rel="dofollow" title="Worldcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/worldcoin.html">Worldcoin</a> could affect <a rel="dofollow" title="Kenya" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/kenya.html">Kenya</a>’s monetary policy, the country’s cybersecurity, and increase <a rel="dofollow" title="fraud" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/fraud.html">fraud</a> and scams within the country, the National Computer Cybercrimes Coordinating Committee (NC4) told MPs in parliament yesterday.</p> 
    <p>Fifteen MPs currently make up a committee that’s been established to investigate the ChatGPT founder’s eyeball-scanning crypto project, following its controversial rollout within the country.</p> 
    <p>NC4 director Colonel James Kimuyu told <a rel="dofollow" title="Kenya" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/kenya.html">Kenya</a> MPs about the potential impacts <a rel="dofollow" title="Worldcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/worldcoin.html">Worldcoin</a> could have on the country as part of government scrutiny of the iris-focused cryptocurrency.</p> 
    <p>“National security concerns surrounding a global digital currency like <a rel="dofollow" title="Worldcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/worldcoin.html">Worldcoin</a> can be significant due to its potential impact on a country’s economic, financial sovereignty,” Kimuyu said (via Nation). “The legality of <a rel="dofollow" title="Worldcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/worldcoin.html">Worldcoin</a> data collection is under scrutiny.”</p>
