Government says proponents of federal system should lobby parliament pass relevant laws instead of calling for such during political rallies.

This follows Aford president Enoch Chihana's and other calls for the introduction of federal system in the country.

Chihana repeated the call on Monday during a political rally in Nyambadwe in Blantyre.
