Concurring with Ng’oma, Home Affairs Minister said: “There is no way I can join DPP which heading towards political dustbin after the elections. This is the elections for President Joyce Banda to get her own mandate and we are ready to help her develop this country.

 “DPP should see how we are going to develop this country and not their autocracy and stubborn leadership”.
