Inspired by a U.S. fact-checking website , a group of Egyptian activists has created the Morsi Meter , aimed at holding the new Egyptian president to his promises . It 's `` an attempt to document and monitor the performance of Egyptian President-elect Mohamed Morsi '' over his first 100 days , the Morsi Meter website says . Much like the Obameter from PolitiFact.com , which tracks U.S. President Barack Obama 's promises , the Morsi Meter lists numerous promises Morsi allegedly made while campaigning for the presidency , including offering incentives and promotions for police who restore security in their areas , new penalties for smuggling fuel , and changes on the streets to improve traffic . It 's a project of Zabatak , a non-profit group that says its goal is to fight crime and corruption . Amr Sobhy , a 24-year-old organizer with the group , told CNN the idea for the Morsi Meter sprang from a conversation he had with another young activist . `` We decided to follow U.S.-like initiatives of monitoring the promises of politicians after the naming of the president , '' and one member of Zabatak began to write down Morsi 's campaign vows , Sobhy said . `` We are a group of Egyptians who do n't belong to any political ideology and , for the record , we are not by any means political activists , '' he said . `` We are average Egyptian youths who want to use whatever they do best to bring about change in Egypt . '' Egypt elections : 'Women need a champion ' Sobhy said he voted for Morsi , the Muslim Brotherhood candidate , over Ahmed Shafik , who served as the final prime minister under ousted President Hosni Mubarak . It was `` a choice between revolution and reproducing the past regime . '' The group has not heard of any reaction from Morsi to the website . Unlike the U.S. presidency , Egypt 's presidency is largely a figurehead position -- particularly after the military junta running Egypt recently claimed full legislative and budgetary authority and said the president has no control over the military . Sobhy said that while it 's unclear how much power the president will have , he hopes Morsi fulfills promises through selecting `` a good government '' and gaining public support . `` What matters to me here is how much support we are gaining , unexpectedly , '' for the Morsi Meter , he said . He believes it will help change how candidates look at the electorate . Sobhy said he got the Morsi Meter online before leaving for a conference in Bonn , Germany . Zabatak hopes to change the `` mindset '' in Egypt and get more people to be `` more positive and involved , '' he said . `` We want to bring Egypt to a new era of accountability , open government and citizen involvement , '' Sobhy explained . The site is not about `` criticism or advocacy , '' he added . `` It 's a portal of data . People can use it later , as much as they like , to form whatever opinions they want to hold . '' The site currently lists 64 promises . Sobhy says the group will soon launch an official English version . The Obameter , from Pulitzer Prize-winning PolitiFact.com , currently lists about 500 promises Obama made while campaigning for the presidency . It says he has kept 37 % , broken 14 % , and compromised on another 12 % . `` I know of similar efforts we 've inspired in France , Poland and Afghanistan , '' PolitiFact Editor Bill Adair said Tuesday . `` We 're thrilled that journalists around the world are adopting the approach of our Obameter . It 's a new form of journalism that holds public officials accountable for their campaign promises . It shows the power of the Web and the value of accountability journalism . '' What is the Muslim Brotherhood ?
