So we shld say that we(malawian)have the right tu xpress our opion over govt matters?.We must also oppose where the govt is failing,and it is the responsibility of the govt itself to ensure that the wellfare of it citizens,is condunsive/being improved both rural and urban area.So i can say that the govt shld focus on issues which can achieve/promote development on our country.And may God bless malawi.
