There is a law that limits the rights to criticize the president. Television and radio are controlled by the government and give only the rulling party's vision.
Ans7- A democratically elected government is more accountable to the public because it comes to power due the majority of the public voted for it. The government is apprehensive that the same public may not vote it to power next time if it does not fulfil their expectations.

There is a space for public discussion on these mistakes. And there is room for correction. Either the rulers have to change their decisions, or the rulers can be changed.
