Beyond Reasonable Doubt, Zambian Members of Parliament won't Blog

Hope I'm wrong about this. Given free blog platform with self-posting
via email, the most promising MP, Hon Wybur Simuusa even with two
assistants seems not to have the political will to blog to be
transparent and be held accountable about his activities in parliament
nor for the developments in Nchanga constituency. Its been over one
year now since I initiated the web open Zambia project which began
with Nchanga. http://nchangawatch.blogspot.com

Its been proven beyond reasonable doubt.

Zambia Member of Parliament blogs project Underway

Creating blogs for 150 Members of Parliament then invite them to use them to be accountable for their actions in Parliament and development projects in their respective constituencies is what I'm doing for next few weeks.

Will giving blogs to Members of Parliament work to enhance civic engagement and participation in Zambia? To be honest, I don't know, but that doesn't mean I should not play my part either. The satisfaction is in playing my part at a time when trust and loss of interest in the very processes that makes our society's laws is very low. If we don't participate in the making of laws for ourselves and our future generations then who will.

 I have since created
 1. Nchanga Watch for Hon. Wyllbur Simuusa

2. Petauke Watch for Hon. Dora Siliya

3. Mazabuka Watch for Hon Garry Nkombo

Yep! I have 147 more to go. I have emailed the respectiveb Memebers of Parliament to either accept or reject my idea. However  Im sceduled to meet with Hon. Simuusa tomorrow. I shall say to him " To blog or not blog ,that Hon. MP is the real question."
