Chi Onwurah

Chi Onwurah is a Labour Member of Parliament and currently serves as the chair of the science, innovation and technology select committee. She is newsworthy due to her involvement in recent political and technological debates. Recently, she rejected claims made by Palantir that criticism of their multimillion-pound NHS England contract was ideologically motivated, asserting the government was right to seek guidance on potentially breaking the contract. Additionally, Onwurah, along with six other senior Labour MPs who chair parliamentary committees, has urged the government to ban political donations in cryptocurrency. This call comes amid concerns that cryptocurrency could be used to circumvent donation regulations in the upcoming elections bill. Her positions on technology, data privacy, and political finance make her a relevant voice in current discussions surrounding government contracts and electoral integrity.
