Posted by Ory Okolloh in Miscellany

This landed in my in box today:

Safaricom is looking for Kenyans working in the US and the UK who would be interested in meeting us to discuss career prospects especially Engineers, however, we will meet any other professional Kenyans who are interested in returning home to work. We will be going to Birmingham, UK the first week of August and to Atlanta in the US during the second week of August.

Let anyone you may know in the US & the UK send me their C.V and I will send them a formal invite along with specific details of where we will be for interviews.

Parliament’s legislative agenda

Posted by Ory Okolloh in Kenyan Politics

Kenya’s parliament resumed today. We posted the lengthy legislative agenda for the upcoming year over at Mzalendo, along with commentary on the bills where we could locate anything. Over the next few months, we hope to incorporate a bill tracker on to the site and introduce features that will allow Mzalendo users to discuss the bills.

Quick Hits: Africa Special

Posted by Ory Okolloh in Africa, Africa and blogs, Technology

- New blog from Tanzania that will be featuring recipes from Tanzania and other countries. Can’t wait. Hat tip Jikomboe!

- Budding African podcasters could use this. It allows podcasters to transmit their work on FM. Hat tip Jikomboe!

- Are African governments finally getting switched on to the potential of the African blogosphere in terms of opening people’s minds? Could be in Ethiopia. I agree with Ethan, censorship is the sincerest form of flattery but I hope this will not be permanent.

- I like Bazungubucks’ Microlibros idea (scroll down the post to get to it). Perhaps he should get together with Gukira and produce the pamphlet mashup (hint, hint) :-)

- $100 laptop may not suit South Africa.

- And finally, Arrive, Make a Scene, Take a Photo, Leave. Thought-provoking.
