“We’ll end the problem of electricity blackouts in this country once we get into government next year. I will not tell you what I cannot fulfill. I know where to get the resources to end the problem of electricity blackouts in this country”, said Banda who is popularly known as JB.
“If they question you in doubt about this, just tell them that she is ‘Namagetsi’” which literary means the Expert in dealing with electricity issues.
