MMD spokesperson Dora Siliya has challenged Kafulafuta Member of Parliament, George Mpombo and his Chilanga Constituency counterpart, Ng’andu Magande to resign from the ruling party and avoid unjustified attacks against the Government.
Ms Siliya also said former vice-president Enoch Kavindele is bitter after Government rejected his application for a mobile telecommunication licence.
She reminded Mr Kavindele that he was awarded a licence to operate North-Western Railway Systems without tender procedure and had not been cleared by any competent court of law.
Mr Kavindele accused Ms Siliya in a tabloid at the weekend of wrongdoing while she served as minister of Communications and Transport, an allegation for which she was cleared by a tribunal.
Mr Kavindele also alleged that Ms Siliya flew directly from Petauke to Johannesburg in South Africa but the minister said she had travel schedules about her flight connections.
Ms Siliya said Mr Kavindele’s licence to open North-Western Railway Systems was done outside the tender processes and had been fighting for the deal which he knew was irregular.
She explained that the Government withdrew Mr Kavindele’s licence due to non-performance in line with terms of his licence.
She said late president Levy Mwanawasa held a meeting with Mr Kavindele and Chief Mumena to explain the matter and wondered why he had continued fighting her in the Press.
Ms Siliya, who is minister of Education, said she was in Johannesburg for a Southern African Development Community (SADC) ministerial conference on education and never flew directly from Petauke in breach of the law.
She explained that she arrived from Petauke on June 6, 2010 and left for the conference the following day.
She said Mr Kavindele should avoid cheap politics as a man who occupied the second highest political office in the land.
She said Mr Kavindele was bitter over Government’s decision to reject Vodacom on whose platform he had applied to operate a fourth mobile phone service.
On Mr Magande and Mr Mpombo, Ms Siliya said the two would do well to leave the MMD because they had been campaigning that their own party should lose the elections next year.
She said there was lack of seriousness in the two politicians and was certain Zambians were getting fed up with them.
But Mr Kavindele said there was a tender by the Communications Authority for a fourth mobile telephone operator, which he won.
He, however, said the issue of North-Western Railway Systems was his idea and admitted that there was no tender on that account.
Meanwhile, MMD Deputy National Secretary Chembe Nyangu has said the ruling party is confident of scooping the forthcoming Chifubu and Luena parliamentary by-elections and advised all parties participating in the polls to desist from acts of violence.
And United Party for National Development (UPND) Copperbelt Province chairperson, Elisha Matambo has said the UPND-Patriotic Front (PF) Pact will not ferry any cadres from other constituencies to Chifubu during campaigns to avoid violence.
Mr Nyangu said in interview yesterday that the ruling party had found a winning formula, which would see it capture the Chifubu seat from the PF.
“We are doing our best as we prepare for the by-elections. As at now what I can say is that we are set to win the election because the MMD will field the best candidate capable of delivering the much-needed development to the people,” he said.
The Luena seat fell vacant after the resignation of Independent Member of Parliament (MP) Charles Milupi while in Chifubu area MP Benson Bwalya died.
Meanwhile, Mr Matambo said in Ndola yesterday that it was important that all parties fielding candidates in future by-elections did not import cadres from other areas because they were the main cause of violence.
“As UPND and other partners in the electoral pact, the Patriotic Front, we have pledged to see to it that the forthcoming by-elections are held in a peaceful atmosphere,” he said.

Take them on smart gal!Dora paliba entanta!
iwe chi hule Dora Siliya, jus shut up !! u,a very useless and worthless !! if u fill horny jus tell bwezani to do u, VIVA PACT
”She said Mr Kavindele should avoid cheap politics as a man who occupied the second highest political office in the land.”
Interesting point there Dora. How about telling the same to your President that as a man currently holding the highest office in the land he should try and use his brains even for a minute as he rules the country.
YES BA DORA.HOW POSSIBLE AND SENSIBLE CAN A RESPONSIBLE PERSON SEE HIS HOUSE FALLING APART YET THAT MAN CELEBRATE THAT FALLING APART. SURELY THE TWO ARE INSULTING OUR INTELLIGENCE .THEY WANT TO EAT WITH BOTH HANDS.BUT THE BIG BROTHER THIS TIME IS LOOKING! EITHER SATA OR BANDA IS LOOKING.
Dora Dora Dora…. You were found guilty by the tribunal beyond reasonable doubt.. RB then piled pressure on Highcourt to dismiss tribunal judgement while he sutdied it. it seems u just enjoy telling lies.. and without shame like you are not a woman and mother. If mothers start lying then I dont know whats going to be of future generations.. U a disgrace to Zambian women with 0 integrity.
Fat ha again. I thought by now she knows there will be by-elections when Mpo and Mag resign and elections cost a lot of money. Does she know that even if they resigned today, their mouths will still tell the truth about MMD? Shame shallow mind.
Why can’t the Minister answer EK, Magande or Mponmbo’s questions instead of casting aspersions on their characters? MMD DOES NOT accept criticism and that is the problem! Should they reply debating her marriage failures or her prowess or reputation at the ZNBC? Anyway, as long as we are able to debate and not be censored on LT, I shall voice my dissention!
It is amazing that whenever Ms Siliya speaks, some bloggers fail to engage her in appropriate debate but losing their minds, they proceed to insults. This may perhaps prove that she is ‘very smart.’
Dora, dora, chiwamina galu… you MMD guys have embraced the PF rebel MPs who continually insult the party president and work against its own party. They receive massive support from MMD to discredit PF. If you have morals Dora retract your words, because Magande and Mpombo have the right to belong to a party of their choice which is MMD. they have also the right to speak out against the ills of the party. First let the PF rebel MPs resign before you talk about Magande and Mpombo.
#9 SUNSHINE – YOU HAVE SAID IT ALL. HAVE A SUN SHINE DAY
SOMEONE WHO IS SMART CAN NOT BE INSULTED. THINK TWICE MR. THE SAINT !
Ohh, now you have a winning formula which will see you capture Chifubu seat? anxiuosly waiting to see the formula.
Gwilan Hule, Hule…Hule…iyo…….. Dora has committed many scandals but instead of being punished by RB, she has been promoted because she is a BIG AND FAT HULE. Hule, Hule…Hule…iyo
The Movement for Mass Destruction……number your days with wisdom. Looks like your wheels ain’t spinning nomore. Dora-dora from Bora-bora, you have done zero for the Zambian people. EK has a valid point regarding the sale of Zamtel. Capable and interested Zambians should have been given the opportunity to bid for the company. It is for this same myopic approach to investment that we end up stalling our development. Investment does not only imply foreign….Dora-dora from Bora-bora…shut up!!
Dora, you don’t tell any body to resign, why are u chasing them. Mind u Mpombo and Magande might be cleaner than u are, we shall see u afterwards. wash your pants now when the sun is shining for u, before the autum rains of another reign:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?
lots of sense number 9, why are the PF rebels not resigning?
On “On Mr Magande and Mr Mpombo, Ms Siliya said the two would do well to leave the MMD because they had been campaigning that their own party should lose the elections next year…. She [MMD Spokesperson, Minister of Education and Petake MMD MP Dora Siliya] said there was lack of seriousness in the two politicians and was certain Zambians were getting fed up with them,” which Zambians is she talking about? I hope she is talking about MMD cadre Zambians and not all Zambians who are feed up with MMD which is causing them to seek real change by seeing MMD MPs Magande and Mpombo take over MMD leadership from the failure Mr President RB Banda.
Have a blessed day all.

Matt 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you
Dear Dora, its not right for you to ask Magande and Mpombo to resign because you should be the first one to do so due to your arrogance!
This woman is embarrassing all the women. The only intelligent, humble, hardworking woman minister is Masebo. Dora is busy kissing A**. wonder how long this is going to last. How hard can it be to look at yourself and see that you are simply a puppet on a string!
#11, a smart person can be insulted TOO.BY STUPID PEOPLE
Who is Dora and Mabenga to speak out in MMD, these are corrupt people who cannot live without corruption and we are watching you two. We have not yet forgotten how you ddenied us a good leader in the name of Magande just because he is too clean and you will not have your hands on corruption. This time around we are showing you that we cannot be cheated anymore. You promised to show us the evidence concerning magande’s connection with Zambia airways, where is it, we are still waiting. You have taken our pf mps we will take yours also, watch us. Dora we know that people who cannot live without corruption have grouped in MMD to continue eating our money, but we are ready to remove you come 2011.
Dora pack first before we help you pack. You have come back from watching football in south africa, those Libyans who bought Zamtel gave you a big cut by sponsoring your trip. Our eyes ore on you at this time around woman and we will make sure you are investigated as soon as we get there. Dora you are a chancer and we know you for that, but you will one day face the law. Chasing Magande is like insulting some of us because with Magande zambia would be a better place by now.
Dora should not speak out against the terrible two (Mpombo and Magande) but they can say whatever they want against the party they belong two? A case of double stands?
Chi Huuuuuuuuullllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. These miopic bafoons are so blinded with the blood money they are stealing – dont worry, bazazibweza ndalama zathu. Then tizamanga bonse with their consultant titus. There will be need to pardon most prisoners so we make room for the plunderers.
#8 You are actually very right. Nobody on this site engages Dora in an intellectually. They all resort to insults. How many of you here insulting Dora have had an affair with her to call her names for promiscuity? How many men has Dora gone out with to be insulted so much? By the way if you have had an affair with her as well you are a hule!! These two buffoons need to behave responsibly. When you side with the opponent you become an informant – a traitor. You should resign. Mr Magande is actually intellectually deficient to ask Dora to resign first. How many parties has Dora belonged to – and you Mr Magande?? I do not like Dora but she seems to make more sense than these spineless men.
#25 Sorry, I meant Mr Mpombo
# 25, You state: “Nobody on this site engages Dora in an intellectually. They all resort to insults”. P
Probably you have to ask yourself why people regard her the way they do. It is not what she has attained academically that people discuss here. It is her character. One not need to call one a thief like Chiluba only if they have stolen with him. Same with Dora, one does not need to sleep with her to call her what they call her. Just like any other achievement, a hule attains that through their deeds and that you have to sleep with them first to call one a hule.
Probably you need to enlighten yourself with her character and her deeds before you defend her. If she is not, people will judge. Why don’t they call other female Ministers the names they her? Ask yourself. Go figure!
the fact that EK’s bidding in north western railways was illegal and does not follow the set procedure does not mean even the MMS’s sale of zamtel which is illegal should be accepted. two wrongs dont make a right………………………
#27 Will you state specifics rather than re-state what you have heard from others. Just because you know more about Dora does not mean that those you do not know anything about are clean – you should know this. But on Dora, how many different men has she slept with? Compare this with an average lady on the street and judge her prudently. You who is enlightened about her give us the data so we can judge her empirically rather than hearsay.
sense number 27………enuf sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!educate them
