He said his party envisions at promoting health sector, education and trade.
“Our vision is to create an economically independent Malawi that will be a manufacturing country. In other words, our country should be an exporting instead of an importing one. At the moment, our country is considered as a dumping country, for instance, some of the goods from foreign countries are of low quality for the reason that most Malawian industries stopped operating some time back,” he said.
