Ordinary people see the role of the state as being to listen to the people and do what is best for its citizens' welfare. This involves implementing programmes to meet the needs of the people and adhering to the laws and legislation of the land. They believe the state has to know its limits and be like the ordinary citizens in all aspects of life. Like a good society, a good state must be run by responsible and reasonable citizens. The state should involve all church leaders, selected elderly citizens, and representatives from private sectors in open discussions with it on matters affecting the welfare of the country.
Public debates are effective in terms of forming positive and constructive views.
In performing this function, the state shares its responsibilities with its own people. Ordinary citizens see themselves as needing to work together, and to be united to achieve their goals of living in a better society. They need to be more Christian. They need to be compassionate about others in society. They need to be better citizens, be better parents, policemen, doctors and so on.
