Eh…
I’m still on my blogging drought (or is it blog-menopause? TM Nick 2006).
Cool link of the week: coCooment, tracks all your comments wherever you leave them online andtracks responses to your comments.
Why donor funded projects often suck. Wouldn’t it have been simpler / more sensible to just have the Ministry of Justice allocate funds to train and hire court reporters (job creation, hello?) and buy the requisite machines, rather than keep some (foreign) consultants in business and keep the process mired in procurement shadiness?
Can Kimunya focus on implementing his directive instead of chasing bogeymen?
Mzalendo news: First, if you haven’t done so please read Thinker’s brilliant piece on Mzalendo…sometimes we just get vexed about all the (unhelpful) pontificating. Second, it looks like I’ve managed to find a way to get my hands on the Parliament’s Order Papers…they do make for interesting reading so please check them out, I hope my access will be regular (eternal thanks to my super-duper hookup…50% of my time on mzalendo is spent on finagling information out of a very closed system). Finally, Mzalendo got wiki’d!

Great job on Mzalendo. Curious question, do you suspect that the Parliament may at some point reach out to embrace your brilliant effort and open up for Mzalendo to function together with its website?
Highly unlikely, but would be great if they do…I would love to see MPs contributing to the site for their own PR purposes.
Kimunya is probably just trying to whip up a storm of controversy to get our attention away from Nakumatt or something juicier. We should turn our radars on!

Good luck with mzalendo.
By the sounds of it, you and m have a lot of work ahead of you to keep it up to date.
Good to see the Soros Foundation are backing you.
