Very Soon, It will be iLLegal to Fart in Malawi

The Malawi government is set to introduce a set of laws, interesting, what's more interesting is the laws themselves are quite...ummh...funny...
The Bingu wa Mutharika led administration is to introduce a raft of legislation that seeks to criminalize an everyday natural occurrence of “passing gas” with the intention to “mould responsible and disciple citizens”


 Illegal to fart, how would I live?
I understand Not Farting in Public..but how does not Farting ( Which is a natural body action btw) make me a responsible citizen? I mean sometimes, Stuff Just happens, you dont expect it, it just happens.....Most ladies Wont even talk about this... oh well,,its just la princessa.....i say anything

The bill, reports say, also seeks to punish “any person disturbing religious assemblies, trespassing on burial places," or "insulting the modesty of a woman".
The Local Courts Bill of 2010, according to Malawi media reports, is to be presented in the forthcoming Parliament sitting by Minister of Justice, George Chaponda. The bill, reports say, also deals with citizens who hinder the burial of dead bodies as well as people who pretend to be fortune tellers.
The bill, which has generated mixed feelings in Malawi, will cover other offenses including the carrying of offensive weapons without lawful authority or reasonable excuse, fighting in public, challenging to fight a duel, deceiving witnesses, destroying evidence, escape and removal of property under lawful seizure.
