About BungeMeter

Mzalendo Trust · Parliamentary monitor

BungeMeter is Mzalendo Trust's data-driven monitor of Kenya's Parliament — a single, clear window into what the National Assembly and the Senate actually do. It turns the raw record — Hansard debates, divisions, bills, motions, questions and petitions — into comparable, downloadable information for citizens, journalists and researchers.

What you can do here

Six ways to hold Parliament to account, all linked together.

🧑🏾‍⚖️

Track every member

Each MP, Woman Representative and Senator has a transparent performance scorecard — contributions, attendance, bills, committee work and initiative — plus head-to-head comparison and house-wide leaderboards. Numbers, not letter grades.

📜

Follow the law

A bill tracker with dated stage timelines, plus motions, questions, Acts and petitions — and a unified parliamentary timeline, every record linked to the people and topics behind it.

🗳️

See how they vote

Division results rendered as a hemicycle, with party-cohesion analysis — kept strictly separate by House so figures are never misleading.

🔎

Read the debate

A searchable, human-checked Hansard, organised by policy topic so you can see which issues Parliament really spends its time on.

📊

Take the public temperature

A public-sentiment view of how Kenyans react to Parliament across vetted media, with a transparent methodology.

💬

Just ask

Chat with Mzalendo answers questions in plain language, grounded in the Hansard record, with its sources cited and cross-checked.

How it works

Built so the figures are trustworthy and yours to reuse.

1

Scoped & separated

Every detailed metric is scoped to the current 13th Parliament and separated by House, so figures are never blended or misleading.

2

Sourced & verified

Data is drawn from Parliament's own records and other authoritative public sources, with the human-checked Hansard ranked above automated transcripts.

3

Open to all

Most pages can be downloaded as CSV or PDF, so you can run your own analysis and check the numbers yourself.

BungeMeter complements mzalendo.com, Mzalendo Trust's home for news, analysis and citizen engagement. Our shared goal is simple: a more open, inclusive and accountable Parliament.
