  37. Govt need to recognise Edgar and Davies and put them in archives. Time has come that people who has achieved and put Malawi on Map,need to be named a street or a building in their respect to be remembered for years. Politicians should not be the only people honoured.After all most of them are corrupt.We should learn to love one another and in so doing we are raising our country up. Encourage those who are doing their best with their money.
