“We need people that can rise against tribalism, regionalism and nepotism,” the charismatic preacher added.

He preacher said voters should look for politicians that are conversant with what Malawians needs.

“We need what I call politicians that are professional. They have a well defined developmental agenda for the country. Something they can sell to the people and convince the people to vote for them,” he said.

He said leaders should those that are ready  to get into positions of authorities  can go flat out and purse their  transformational agenda and end the culture of wrongful enrichment.

“We are tired as people just seeing fee individuals enriching themselves. No, that is not the reason for getting into politics.  We want political leaders that are going to take this nation into promising land,” said the preacher in the broadcast sermon.

He said Malawi needs leaders that can help the nation prosper and creates wealth for all not just for a few.

“We are tired of stagnation. We are tired of crawling,” he said.
