Bishop Mtumbuka: This is a commendable course of action.

He said the website will promote accountability and transparency at the diocese and the diocese will also be able to know the challenges local people are facing.

Mtumbuka however urged staff to make sure that the website is secured and updated all the time.

“All departments in the diocese should update on the website all activities that are happening in order to show transparency and accountability,” he said.

Speaking in a separate interview, Revelation Nyirongo who created the website said the site is secured and it has been customized to use less data.
