Dear Skunks & Skunkettes, ...I was thinking, perhaps it would be possible for one of you coders to write an app that displays a real-time "thermometer" indicating the contributions that have been made thus far to the Kenyans for Kenya kitty. ...There is usually a psychological effect that makes people want to contribute more if they can see how much has been contributed so far...a "thermometer" can easily serve this purpose...perhaps this could work better on the M-PESA contributions rather than the KCB account contributions... The thermometer app can then be displayed in short intervals on TV e.g. KTN and this would be an opportunity for Safaricom/Redcross/Standard Group to also place an advert accompanying the thermometer. This way any revenue to KTN from the advert could be added to the kitty... Is it possible? Timo.
Very interesting. I am guessing the hardest part would be getting the content, anyone know anyone who has direct access to this data? I would be willing to write some PHP code *pro bono*, I suck at design so someone else would probably have to do that. On Mon, Aug 1, 2011 at 1:20 PM, Timothy Mutugi <timothymutugi@gmail.com>wrote:

By this morning they had collected a total of 80M. Am thinking that we need - more importantly - a way to monitor this money. How much of the 80m made it to the dinner plates ? That said, am also willing to write code for this. -- Ndungi Kyalo On 1 August 2011 14:30, Brian Ngure <brian@pixie.co.ke> wrote:

I had the same question... Can we see how the pesa comes in and report how it flows out? No point wasting money when there is such need. Crystal On Mon, Aug 1, 2011 at 2:47 PM, Ndungi Kyalo <ndungi@gmail.com> wrote:

Bob Collymore said (on Citizen TV yesterday morning) that all the money (to the last cent) will be given to the Red Cross, and an Audit firm will also be brought in to verify how all the money was spent! Now, my only question is who will pay the Audit Firm and how much will that be? Will it still be pro-bono? On Mon, Aug 1, 2011 at 15:16, Crystal Watley Kigoni < crystal@voicesofafrica.org> wrote:

Will it still be pro-bono? Yes. KPMG offered to do it pro-bono. It would be nice to also see real time that 100k today bought Unimix for 50 homes - and if its not too much to ask for the names of the benefactors or some proof that the said Unimix fikad mashinani. A KPMG audit might only report as far as 100k worth of Unimix was bought. KPMG however will tell us of bloated salaries and daily allowances.
