Naturally, the average human body produces half a liter of farts - methane gas. Yeah, geniuses, let's ban a near-unavoidable bodily function. I vote we ban sweating. Grotyyyyy
If you're not a douche about it, nobody will even notice and you won't be punished. Methane, the main gas in farts, is odorless, so it isn't necessary for farts to be smelly. It also certainly isn't necessary to do the audible fart. Just don't be a smelly person and don't try to be funny with loud farts and you can fart all you want with no penalty.
This would really raise the stakes on my farting (silently) in crowded elevators.

Nitrogen is the main gas.
Honestly, apart from offering new ways for police embarrassment, what can such a law seriously hope to achieve?
I have no doubt that Malawi has many other far more serious issues that need addressing than punishing people for perfectly natural bodily reactions to bad foods, and the fact that time is spent on such is just more evidence of the likely corruption within their political system.
Yeah, they need to just lay off the camel meat.

Dutch oven.
there are no camels, alive or dead, in Malawi, and while those minibuses are awfully close and crowded in Limbe, you ride in the back of a pickup truck or on a bus with open windows and lots of chicken and goats, the norm in most of the country, and you will not be worrying about people farting.
This will end all skydiving in Malawi.
