"I think the life of honourable [Alexander] Chikwanda has been a demonstration of dedication to public service. When you are a leader in politics, do not make enemies because this job of politics is neither here nor there. We are just elected to serve our people, to serve the nation and after that, you become an ordinary citizen. And you should be able to relate to other citizens in a manner that does not antagonize anybody. So there are many lessons we can learn from the life of this man. And for me, I have collaborated with him throughout our adult life. So we come from that generation of service to the nation. So that is why really, we shall miss him. His counsel and his advice have always been very genuine."
