Former finance minister Dr Goodall Gondwe is the harbinger of DPP’s apparent demise following his unceremonious departure from the party.
“It high time we stop politics of backbiting, I ave come to a point where I decided to do politics for the good of the people. PP is there to uplift the lives of people not just politicki. If I had the powers I would have said let’s stop politics and uplift te lives of people,” said Kamanga.
He asked people in his former party to reflect on what they did in the past, Kamanga said the DPP did somethings right and others wrong.
“I am comparing between the two, serving the nation and positions in a party. I find that serving people is better than positions,” said Kamanga.

He said Kamanga has joined PP after appreciating the vision the President Joyce Banda has.
“Wakuda is not new on the political scene, he will help us. We know what he has done in DPP and we know what he can do in PP.. In politics you do not move with position from party A to party B. He will be doing something in PP aswell.” Kachali told the media.
