Local media reported over 350,000 Kenyans signed up for Worldcoin scans on Tuesday, in large part because of rewards offered by the company.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Government is concerned by the ongoing activities of an organization calling itself &lsquo;WORLD COIN&rsquo; which is involved in the registration of citizens through the collection of eyeball\/iris data,&rdquo; Kenya&rsquo;s Ministry of the Interior said in a statement on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo\/?fbid=598481229140719&amp;set=pcb.598481412474034\">Facebook<\/a> on Wednesday. &ldquo;It will be critical that assurances of public safety and the integrity of the financial transactions involving such a large number of citizens be satisfactorily provided upfront.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It added that security, financial services and data protection agencies are investigating the &rdquo;authenticity and legality&rdquo; of Worldcoin&rsquo;s activities in the country, as well as the protection of data it is gathering.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Folks registering for World Coin.

Soon after the team stationed Orbs in supermarkets and malls, the promise of earning 7,700 Kenyan Shillings &ndash; $55 &ndash; from a rewards program attracted a massive following.<\/p>\n<p>The value of the rewards for getting eyeballs scanned for the company&rsquo;s ID is more than half the monthly minimum wage in Kenya, which stands at about $106. Until the recent suspension, the crypto reward tokens could be cashed via Binance or other crypto exchanges and converted into local currency.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Worldcoin Raises Privacy Concerns in Kenya<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Kenya&rsquo;s data privacy regulator issued warning days after the project was launched.&nbsp;The Office of the Data Protection Commissioner issued a warning to residents who sought to get Worldcoin&rsquo;s &ldquo;free&rdquo; tokens via Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Companies began offering services to cash their crypto rewards. One, called, Nuzo, offered discounts on food items for people who used their service at a convention centre to swap WLD tokens.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/CharlesDNichols\/status\/1685630921506947072?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1685630921506947072%7Ctwgr%5E77f62274146432e134ef3904f14acd9b5774f9ce%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftechcabal.com%2F2023%2F07%2F31%2Fworldcoin-in-kenya%2F<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/kotanipay\/status\/1685619297647824896?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1685619297647824896%7Ctwgr%5E77f62274146432e134ef3904f14acd9b5774f9ce%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftechcabal.com%2F2023%2F07%2F31%2Fworldcoin-in-kenya%2F<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Worldcoin Faces Scrutiny Across the Globe&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Worldcoin&rsquo;s drawn the ire of many agencies around the globe.
