Mzalendo reports the arrest of Kenyan activists who are opposing the proposed Kshs 1.4 billion bonus for MPs: “Finally, we URGE Mzalendo users to support the protest in your own small way by letting your MP know exactly how you feel about the proposed gratuity by leaving them a comment on their profile and letting them know that their support for the payment will be remembered come voting time. We at Mzalendo will try to gather details about which MPs have lent their support to the proposal, such as MP Mardsen Madoka.”
