Today the project Mzalendo gets a relaunch at the Ihub, Mzalendo.com is a great initiative whos mission is stated as “to keep an eye on the Kenyan paliament”, the project co-founded by Conrad and Ory, is seeking to promote a greater public participation in politics, its funded by the Omidyar network.

You want to know about your paliamentarian, this is the site to visit, you will find current political positions, job history, their level of education, and most impressive is the scorecard, that allows you to rate and review the particular member. You can also share this information on social networking,and the ripple effect would be to create a debate around member profiles and leading to greater accountability.  We at the nailab congratulate Ory and Conrad on this great initiative.
