Control of politicians
— #11 Putting the unforeseen meetings into the public electronic diary
A politician should also be obliged to retrospectively publish information about unplanned meetings in the electronic diary if he/she discussed public affairs in those meetings.
If a politician met someone unexpectedly, he/she would indicate that in the electronic public diary retroactively. Thus, the electronic public diary would include a complete information about the meetings of politicians which would increase its credibility in the eyes of the public.
