MMD should de-register itself if it fails to raise money for convention-Dora Siliya

MMD spokesperson Dora Siliya says the former ruling party should de-register itself if it fails to raise money for holding of an extraordinary convention to elect new office-bearers.

Some senior MMD members have called for an extraordinary convention to usher in new leaders after observing that the entire national executive has failed to lead the party.

Ms Siliya said the money for holding the extra-ordinary convention can be found if there are ideas, good leadership and vision.

“If that argument [not having money for the convention] goes, then, I mean, we should go for a voluntary de-registration and do other things,” she said.

She said when she featured on Muvi TV’s The Assignment programme on Sunday that MMD at the moment is at its worst, adding that the only way to move forward is to go for the convention.

Ms Siliya said it will be irresponsible for members to wait until 2016 even if things are not going well.

“It will be utmost irresponsibility; this is why we are saying it can’t even just be about the president…we are saying this is not about an individual, it is a collective leadership,” she said.

Ms Siliya said the MMD leadership has to own up and agree to go for extraordinary convention to elect leaders who can inspire others with a shared vision and find traction among the people.

She said since Dr Nevers Mumba was elected MMD president there has been a lot of infighting in the party and wondered why he has been having problems with almost everyone in the party.

“There was a fight with Kachingwe and Namugala versus Nevers Mumba…again there was the Kaingu and Chituwo fight versus Nevers Mumba…you can’t fight all the time,” Ms Siliya said.

She also said going for an extraordinary convention is the only way divisions in MMD would end, adding that if MMD members want to wait until 2016, there would be no party but just a name.

“There will be no party on the ground because members will be leaving defecting to PF, UPND or even other political parties because they would have been frustrated,” she said.

Ms Siliya said over the last one year, there have been a lot of calls from MMD members throughout the country that MMD does not have the right leader to lead the party to the next election.

She said reconciliation among MMD leaders means nothing unless the party allows members in constituencies, districts and provinces to make their stance known about the current situation.

Ms Siliya said in politics the only way to resolve an issue is to go for an election, adding that it is the only way to determine someone’s popularity.

“MMD constitution provides for conventions within five years but it also provides for an extraordinary convention which can be called at any time as long as a third of provinces have petitioned,” she said.
Ms Siliya said she has no doubt that MMD will bounce back in power in future if its leaders can put their house in order.

She said MMD is not short of people who can occupy any position, stating that once an opportunity is availed people will come out in the open and express interest for various positions.

  1. Dora de register yourself from our sights

    You are a disgrace that has no credibility whatsoever, you are being used and it is so sad you do not actually realise it.

    Your reputation and legacy is tainted and this is not helping by these nonsensical comments.

    The MMD is a dying party and changing its leadership will not help at all/
    Thanks

    • Dora let me give you a pro bono advise. Just join UPND so far this is the only opposition political party that has proved its worthiness , think of the past useless parties, zadeco,zamchano,republican party for by,fdd, all these where are they now. So work up Mulusa is joining UPND if he wants to retain his seat

    • Deputy National Secretary of M MD Chembe Nyangu stated that only ONE PROVINCE namely Western Province has petitioned for an Extra Ordinary Convention instead of FOUR as required by the Party’s Constitution.Dora and the other renegades should merely accept that the majority of Party members do not want this luxury of an Extra Ordinary Convention. Dora and her friends have now got only two choices.The first is to accept the majority verdict which does not support the holding of the convention and the second one is for them to leave the party and watch from the sidelines to see if MMD will perish as per their weird thinking.

    • God can never forget a party who recoganised Him on a national level ,calling this nation a Christian Nation, which even the european countries failed to do for they are they instruments God used to introduce christianity in the all world.And every time the man of God(Nevers) cries onto him,that cry will always reach the heart of the Almighty God.So what ever Dora,Kaingu are doing,they are just making the man of God more populare.

    • Dora,you’re for hire now.Already you’re wanted by UPND.So please just join them,already other characters like William Banda,Nalumango,Dr Canisius have joined.I hope in the event of UPND having any problems,Dora won’t quit sighting Leadership failure again.

    • Does a church dissolve itself because 4 elders have rebelled against the man of God aka Pastor/biship/reverend? Would a company dissolve itself because the board of directors have resigned despite being provided for under Cap 388 of the Laws of Zambia? Would Man United dissolve itself because Moyes and a few players have been chopped? Would a cabinet be dissolved if 7 members resign to form another party to oppose PF?

      Dora, and I thought being of our generation having been at Yunza you could think better?! I wont repeat what Chisha (ex-hubby) accused you off which my three year old niece no longer does at night…….!!!

    • Lobe! You will eat your way to the grave. Bushe e banakashi abakutwala ku bafyashi aba ati namiletela abapongoshi? Instead of receiving congratulatory messages from the family they will immediately start preparing for your funeral.

  2. It is a very simple matter. If Dora and the Kaingus are not happy with the current MMD leadership they can simply leave the party and join another if they so wish. They are not the founders of MMD and therefore, should not think that the party can only exist if they are the ones at the helm. Dora was a student at UNZA at the time MMD was formed. Ndiye problem nama s.olola always wanting to make draw attention. Their scheme to incite the provinces to rise against Nevers Mumba is fast falling apart. In the meantime, they have chewed PF funds and therefore, are now indebted to Mmembe and co.

  3. Dora caused the downfall of RB. Now she has come again! After the lose she was quiet. Because others spoke and were harassed by the system – she thinks it is the time to come out of the hiding. Any party that associates with Dora will go down.

  4. I and the others you may all know now have tried
    To destabilise MMD by using up all the resources which
    We acquired from Panga Family through Red lips and his colleague
    Ala twafilwa !

  5. Dora, you still have the nerve to fight Dr Mumba. You seem not to understand that your standing in the eyes of many Zambians is that of a lady with no direction. just take a break from politics. The money you got is putting you under such pressure, too bad not all that seems to be good is good after all. For now that money will cause you so much trouble as you have no capacity to deliver MMD to any one.

    • Dora remember what happened to Judas Iscariot whet he betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.When he discovered that he had betrayed an innocent person(Jesus),he returned the money to the high priests(evil men).They refused to get the money back,and he hanged himself.I pray Dora won’t hang herself after discovering the evil plans of Kabimba and Mummembe.

  6. Dora! Dora! Dora! How many times have I called you? You do not own MMD, if anything you just joined the party and the party did not join you, so if you think MMD should be de-registered then you are mistaken coz MMD is bigger than you chisusu, leave MMD like you left your marriage or is it your marriage which left you?

  7. Dora, we all know that you chewed cash from Fred Mmembe and that is why you want MMD to be de-registered because you have failed to fullfill the PF assignment to remove Nevers from leadership. Just de-register yourself from MMD and do something else. Founder members of MMD left when they got tired or frustrated and have never dreamt of deregistering the whole organisation. Who are you to dare suggest for de-registering MMD? Your friend Judas Iscariot returned the 30 pieces of silver and hunged himself when he realised it wasn’t the right thing to do. Do likewise too.

  8. Thank you everyone for good advice.
    I am actually arranging an appointment
    With King Python and offer him anything
    He may request from me for him to give at
    Least a position in ZAWA which has lots of
    Vacancies following Jean’s direction to have the
    Board dissolve.
    Nangu kufyompa nalasuminafye mwe !

  9. But why does Dora want MMD to be obliterated to the annuls of History? Surely this Country needs MMD to offer a strong oppisition than it, actually, needs Siliya!

  10. Dora must be placed where she belongs. She shud resign if she’s unhappy with MMD. The woman is an opportunist. Amano ayabumafyete yekayeka fye

  11. Madam Dora, who voted Nevers in as MMD President? Was it not the same Convention you are calling for? The problems is not Nevers fighting everyone in the party, it is that you, chituwo, kaingu, mugala and kachingwe consider yourselves to be founder members and one of you must no matter what be at the helm. Please leave the party if you are not happy. I have just left PF.

    • Dora why do you put blame on failure to raise money when you are the party mouthpiece to profile the party into financial prosperity. You raised a lot of personal money as minister under RB and brought the good man down because of your corruption and you now want to scandalise Nerves. Leave MMD and join UPND that is desperate for vocal members. HH is talking alone there

  12. Ba Dora, please, why not wait for 2016! Convention now and then again before elections? Be sensible and realistic. This is why MMD failed: kukana kunvela voice of reason. Is holding convention a guarantee of getting into power! Dora you should be looking at how to get back your seat in Petauke

  13. Dora just leave the party than blow the trumpet. We all know that you have been paid to cause confusion in the party. Kaingu has been going round the country to campaign removal of Mumba using dirty money he got from ……. You are equally doing the same thing. People who are not stu.pid as you think. We all know the schemes you are up to. No amount of pressure will remove Mumba. You can hang yourself if you wish. You have a mind which is crooked. I don’t think any sane man can stay with you as a wife. You are imbecile so to speak or Chimbu mushololwa elyo nensoni tawakwata.

  14. Mwewo a Dora chokoni tyala mu chipani cha MMD. Mupanga zoongo. Ndimwe mwapakamwa amai imwe. Ndimwe mwelenga Alupiya kuti aluze napakamwa panu. You should listen at once when people are talking sense. You are embarrassing us Easterner with you useless talk. Learn from Sata, when he was not happy with MMD he had to resign and form his party. My sister the best advise I can give is either you sallow your pride and accept Dr Mumba as president or you resign and join PF since you have been given money by them for a failed attempt. UPND should not accept such kind of characters like Dora and the like because they can bring confusion. These people are not trusted and are weakening the opposition. We want a strong and united opposition.

  15. But Dora you led the campaign for Nervas even when we advised you to let Mutati take us forward, so what has changed now kanshi?

  16. Every one knows even a child knows this for the fact that Madam Dora is just looking for money, people in the MMD appreciates are efforts and contirbution to the part in those days. But now we are very aware that she and her freinds ahve been paid by state house to bring confusion in the MMD part. They no good intentions the only thing they ahve been paid for is to completely destroy the MMD.
    People do not be fooled by Dora Kaingu, chituwo, these are peoople with hidden agendas.
    But come to think of it, who would possibly vote for Chituwo, and Kaingu kikikikiki heheheh ahahaha, even at ward level these two will certainly lose. so the agenda they have is just political power, AND money for incompetent government to destroy MMD

  17. THOSE CLOSE TO DORA SHOULD ADVISE HER, WE ARE NOT ALL MEMBERS OF THE MMD BUT ON THIS MATTER, WE CHALLENGE DORA TO ALLOW THE PARTY TO CONTINUE. YOUR LOVE FOR KWACHA HAS LANDED YOU IN TROUBLE – THE BOAT WONT BE THERE ANYMORE. ALLOW DR.MUMBA TO SHEPHARD THE PARTY AND I URGE YOU TO TAKE A BREAK BEFORE YOU BREAK YOURSELF. ZAMBIANS HAVE REJECTED YOUR INSULTS. YOU EMBARRASSED OUR CULTURE AND BROTHER. JOIN PF WITH BO KAINGU

  18. With nullification of her parley seat, Dora has no source of income. She has no known business to fall back on. Her legal bills are piling up. This explains her desperation. She is vulnerable to a point where she is willing to destroy MMD for pieces of silver. Her steep rise in a short period of time from znbc news caster to cabinet minister will be equalled by a steep fall to literally nothing. Sorry Dora, try going back to znbc instead of expending energy on futile plots. Iam praying for you.

  19. My humble advice to Dora is for her to step aside and reflect on her life. Something is wrong with her.Even if your father is drunk and naked or there is problem in the family, you don’t go to the world to disgrace your own family. She is being used and she is destroying her future. She has no integrity, no morals and she is not speaking on behalf of MMD but for the enemies. Just wait and see. There is no problem that can not be solved. There are no serious problems in MMD except individuals threaten by the coming in of Nevers Mumbea. His removal will not solve the problem.

  20. The only other explaination for her sickening behaviour is Menopause, too much hormonal inbalance and someone noticed that mishape so they have taken advantage.

  21. De-register your flabby bums. We know you’ve been paid to cock up MMD and receive a suspended sentence. Learn fron from your fellow blow jobber, sylvia. Once these guys have cum in you and your mouth. You will be dumped like a bad habit.

    Spend time in the gym mama fatty bumz.

  22. Cisusu………! there goes the finger raiser, a once upon a time law maker. What a personality! She will do well to quit and become an instructor on how to divulge bedtime activities and to wet the blankets… She certainly is no sane politicians. You just wonder who made her the spokesperson…now they are paying for a big mouth that has no substance.

  23. Nevers mumba is the only one who can resuscitate the party but he is being blackmailed by his own members like kaingu,Dora and many others.
