Phelix Odiwuour alias Jalang'o, a Lang'ata Member of Parliament, has shared his thoughts on the current viral trend, Worldcoin.
"Ni mimi tu ama hii worldcoin ni utapeli? Naona watu watalia," he opined in a video on his Instastories.
Loosely translated as "It's just me or this Worldcoin is a scam, I see people will cry."
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman co-founded Worldcoin, a digital identification platform.
The platform aims to provide everyone with a verified digital identity supported by a unique cryptocurrency token, Worldcoin (WLD) and crypto wallet software.

Photos of hundreds of people getting their eyes scanned have been making the rounds on the internet. Many individuals are curious about how these folks are recruited.
A World Coin agent (who wishes to remain nameless) revealed these data in an exclusive conversation with Waza News.
"The process has been good so far. I decided to help people cash out, especially people who have yet to gain Cryptocurrency experience.
We are helping Kenyans cash out, times are tough, and they need money in their pocket; it's useless to give people crypto when they have never heard about it.
That is where I come in. I started this four days ago and have made around 80K; it looks good. It's good money, and we have made connections. My phone has been ringing off the hook."
How do they recruit people?
"You approach someone and explain what World Coin is and how it works. You also explain that cashing out is more challenging than they think.
I let them know they can lose money when they are cashing out and doing it independently (without experience).
You convince them and help them out, and you retain your commission. Everyone goes home happy."
The agent says as much as there is an invasion of privacy concerns, change is inevitable.
"There are privacy concerns, but it's inevitable. The bottom line is people need money, and there is money being offered by billionaires. Why not take it?
If you see someone lining up to get the Ksh 7000, it means they are in financial need; such people won't care about their eyeball being scanned."
