The Forum for National Development (FND) has backed President Joyce Banda and her ruling People’s Party (PP) on the looting of public funds dubbed cash gate.

FND chairperson Bright Kampaundi said this in press briefing held in Lilongwe yesterday and he was accompanied by some other FND members.

The chairperson further said Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has no moral ground to blame PP because cash gate started during the reign of DPP.

DPP Publicity Secretary Nicholas Dausi, in an interview said DPP should not be blamed for cash gate because the practice happened during the PP government.
