Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) spokesperson, Dora Siliya has challenged Mongu Catholic Diocese, Bishop Paul Duffy to tell the nation who the people of western province want instead of simply saying that the people want a change of government.
Ms Siliya told a media briefing in Lusaka on Friday that Bishop Duffy who is quoted in today’s edition of the Post Newspaper as saying that the people of western province want a change of government.
Ms Siliya has described the statement by Bishop Duffy as shocking, baseless,and misleading to the general public.
She said the MMD is comfortable with the people of western province and with the unprecedented level of development currently undertaking in the area, there is no possible way that people of Mongu would want the ruling party out of power.
The MMD spokesperson said it is clear that a lot of work still has to be done in the province but that government is on course and that people should learn to appreciate its commitment.
Meanwhile, Ms Siliya has said Chilanga Member of Parliament, Ng’andu Magande has disqualified himself for the MMD presidency by claiming that he was handpicked by late President Levy Mwanawasa as his preferred presidential candidate.
She said Mr Maganda and his Kafulafuta counterpart, George mpombo are both welcome to leave the party because they are not committed to making it work.
Ms Siliya said Mr Mpombo has remained in constant bitterness with the ruling party when no one asked him to leave government, while Mr Magande knows clearly that he had a lot of troubles to convince the people of Chilanga to vote for him.
Ms Siliya has since challenged the two to take leave from the party if they feel uncomfortable with the ideologies of the ruling party.

Why are you asking who they want? So that you can start personalising the issue? We know the MMD and most politicians in the country can only survive by personalising issues and therefore targetting people for character assasinations. Just get the message sis. People want a change. Address that statement with political strategy devoid of charcater assassination and we will have advanced as a nation. Thats all.
I’m one of them including all retrenched Zamtel workers. Thank you
In the recent by-election despite RB,G.Kunda,Mabenga and others camping there MMD lost,now if that doesnt send a message i dont know what will.
‘”She said the MMD is comfortable with the people of western province” you !doit are even comfortable with Chiluba walking free in Zambia and still keeping the money he stole form the Zabian people. You think Zamtel money will buy you votes. Dora Siliya sorry Dollar Seller you are all Fat and Fart and no brain.
#3 In a PF stronghold you forgot to mention. You also forgot to mention that the turn out was low and the winning margin of PF was reduced. Hardly a great endorsement for PF. By the way, does PF actually have any seats in Western province or do they always come a poor third? If you think Western province will ever vote for your Satan, it is no wonder you support anybody who says they will put more money in your pocket in 90 days and who was using govt money in Kabwe when he was behind the unconstitutional third-term bid for Chiluba. The same man who ungratefully said LPM sent him to SA to save his sorry life as a political gimmick.
You lost an election there not too long ago what else do you want to be told silly Dora the former Zamtel workers will sort you out just wait you will remember my words!
# 5.
Are u half asleep or u simply dont follow events pa ZED-the subject is western province and in my posting am referring to the Luena by election not Chifubu.
As an MMD propangandist u seem to be out of touch like yr Dora.
Enjoy yr weekend where ever u are!!!!
#7 That was not an MMD seat in any case. MMD is still stronger in Western province than PF has ever been. Period. One does not need to be a MMD propagandist to know that. You cant take Luena which is a special case as a harbinger of the whole province. If anything if PF are going to form the next govt they should be breaking through in places like Luena and the rest of Western province but the people there are not stupid and will certainly not put a cross anywhere near the name of Satan.
The so-called Bishop Duffy is a disgraced and failed poison chalice in the political wilderness. His socialist utopia has been at variance with the American exceptionism since 1962. Actually American virtues have found him undesirable species- being of highest indignation. I recall how he fiercely opposed the campaign trail of the 44th President of the United States. How much economic expansion has the Chinaman made in western economies post cold war era? When is he coming to intervene here?
Did you say Reverend Duffy or some such sh.it? Good night friends, can’t comment on this muzungu scum. Oh by the way where is that thing called father bwalya?
When Bishop Duffy or Guy Scott yaps, the POST produce an immediate headline. So when did Duffy start talking for the whole western province? Is his voice more representative of the province than the Litunga? Litunga said the complete opposite to what this idi.ot bishop said. judge for yourself.
DORA SILIYA you are an ***** and you are busy supporting becouse balakunyenga ******we……
Just why do these catholic bishops seem to always think they represent people?Who gave them the mandate to represent people and when was that?Do they think everyone in zambia or whichever region they live in is catholic and therefore they can speak on their behalf?Do they think the way catholics look at them is the way every zambian looks at them?For arguement sake lets say everyone in their areas of residence is catholic then shall we also say every catholic is anti-MMD or anti-govt?It just baffles me to look at how these catholic priests over rate their significance to the zambian people.It’s like the way M’membe keeps saying ‘our people wants this’, ‘our people what and what…’, it makes me wonder who gave these guys the zambian people to them for them to keep claiming ‘our…
#10 That is what that red card libala guy is forgetting. #11 I was thinking the same about the mad priest. Was he not supposed to be organising some sort of anarchy against Chiluba’s aquittal recently?
LT why are you not printing my comments? You are fu.cked up.
Rubb/ish paper, mwanya mukengila into oblivion with your fu.cked up MMD full of thieves and fu.cked up blind supporters, who blog c.r.a.p. 2011 is coming to signify the beginning of the end of all mmd i.d.oits! By next year Xmas dorah will start her court attendance or living in exile.
Dora you are a shame to the women folk besides being a B….learn to shut your mouth and close your legs and keep them tight!
#16 If you look at your answer and that of #17 that is why some of us dont want your sort to ever gain power in our beautiful country. We need people who can argue sensibly and not spew insults left, right and centre. We need people unlike #17 who respect women and acknowledge their right to hold high office without having to put them down with schoolboy s.e.x.u.a.l innuendos which belong to either those who are still living in the dark ages but certainly not with those who wish to see enlightened politics in our country. Who are you to threaten exile to somebody just because they disagree with your point of view? Do you think such threats will honestly make people vote for PF? Simuzakangenamo mu state house. STATE HOUSE IS NOT FOR CHAUVINISTIC THUGS!
Distraught Mmembe is so desperate for moral voices that never such that he has now turned to every jerk such as this US based troll Bishop Edward Chomba another embattled pedophile criminal on the street. Edward Chomba is nothing but another troll based in the US without suffrage right, constituency or credible voice to dictate bonafide voters’ ballot decision.
If ever elections where predicated on the waffling of armchair critics trolling the cyber space, taxpayers wouldn’t be committing their billions to ECZ.If he has a moral voice let him relocate to Zambia and rally voters to his name since he is giving Zambians no options. Its likely he is working for Bishop Duff’s presidential ambitions to be deputized by Gay Scott.
Tough luck, ECZ and CJ will be taking nominations and…
Mune” ndalya live”, where are you? Ichi chi Dora, awe teti ndye live or anything! Thats the whole point of Zambian politics! Iwe ndalya live:, now i understand you 100%!! Chalina sana and ukulya kuti kwashupa sana! Utu bemba (and Namwagas) twena twalibako bwino kabili! Where is this Dora from? It shows from the talking that she is not think and got some money from the ZamTel deal and hence feels special! kabiyefye iwe chi Dora!
US based pedophile Bishop Edward Chomba another embattled troll is for Bishop Duff Presidency.
The people of W/P want change of govt . Dora doesn’t know, of course who else do they want it
is HH fela
i always took lusaka times for a good media for people to share their views in a good and respectful manner but now iam just surprised to see pipo insulting political leaders and the clergy as if it is the most clever thing to do,anyway i guess it is the new world order.And for dora i think the best thing to do is try and sit with the bishop and discuss on the issues affecting the pipo of western province after all like it or not he spends more time with the pipo than she does.
Daft Duffy- no wonder you call yourself daft- you are daft!
