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."
