The Government Assurances Committee has adopted social media as a means of holding politicians responsible and accountable.<\/p>\n
The platform created and managed by the International Institute of ICT Penplusbytes will track all Ministers of State who make promises during their visit to chiefs, rural folks, during vetting of Ministers and on the floor of Parliament.<\/p>\n
Using Short Message Service code 9030 on all networks, Whatsapp numbers and Facebook accounts, citizens are to report all Ministers who make promises and on which platform the promises were made.<\/p>\n
