"Obviously yes, as you are aware that in the history of Malawi, I was the only person who repeated the occupation of the office of the First Deputy Speaker, which I would say, I served for ten years."

"As an experienced politician, I am passionate to save the people of my constituency including the nation of Malawi as a whole, and give the people all the attention, so that they get all the development and needs that they deserve."

"I know for sure, as an experienced politician that was actually mentored by a veteran politician in Malawi that I am definitely going to bring a huge value to the Malawi Congress Party and its leadership, to help change the face of the Shire Valley, in its developmental projects and other needs. Hence, I will tirelessly continue to fight for the comeback of Dr. Chakwera and the MCP as a party, in order for the Shire Valley and Malawi as a whole, to enjoy the developmental activities and sound leadership that is being demonstrated by the State President’s governance."

"People must realize that Nsanje North constituency is currently facing numerous challenges such as poor road network, floods, poor infrastructure; just to mention but a few. I would therefore want to work with the government, to bring sound development that the people of the constituency deserve."

"Not necessarily ditch DPP, but the issue is that I have gone back home, as in the Malawian adage: “Mbalame ibwerera ku chisa.” People who follow politics in Malawi may recall that I came into politics in 2004, through the influence of the veteran politician, the late Hon Dr. Gwanda Chakuamba [MHSRIP]. He is the person who mentored me into politics, to take over his mantle as a Member of Parliament, in our Nsanje North Constituency. I can, without reservation, say that he intensively mentored me, and it must be understood that during the time of his mentorship, the late Chakuamba by was a dedicated member of the Malawi Congress Party [MCP], and also its Vice President, before he formed his ” Republican Party [RP]”. Therefore, I have just gone back home, where I belong."
