IN MY HUMBLE OPINION: No accountability without freedom of expression

As humans we are primarily driven by issues that are directly beneficial to us. However some issues that may seem unrelated and of little interest may be resolved by others who are experts in the given field. This leads to all of us benefitting. A good example is the sector of agriculture. Having varied, good quality, affordable agricultural produce is important to my personal welfare. And, by extension, how Government is managing this sector is therefore also important to me. But I am not a farmer, I know very little about it, and anyway, I am too busy earning a living from my own profession. However, the farmers, wholesalers, retailers and many others, who earn their livelihoods from this sector, know how government is performing. By sharing their opinions and views between each other, they can identify common issues and act in consort to get Government to have them resolved. And often, such issues are resolved without me even noticing. And their action, consultation benefits all of us!
