Southern Province Minister Daniel Munkombwe has assured Communications and Transport Minister, Dora Siliya, of continued moral support from sympathizers that believe in her genuine leadership.
Mr Munkombwe said he had faith in the judicial system and was confident justice would prevail in the case involving Ms Siliya since Zambia did not operate under a system of jungle laws.
He said this when Ms Siliya paid a courtesy call on him at his office in Livingstone today.
Mr Munkombwe said unnecessary suspicions by detractors were aimed at disrupting government’s agenda of attaining sustainable economic development.
He said Ms Siliya had fallen into unforeseen pitfalls while in the process of trying to perfect the transport sector which was previously dormant and was in urgent need of regenerating interest from investors.
And Mr Munkombwe assured Ms Siliya that most of the bridges in the province were in good condition but bemoaned the lack of progress on some roads like the Choma-Namwala road.
The Provincial Minister also alleged that the introduction of democracy in Zambia by former President, Fredrick Chiluba, was to blame for the culture of insults that people had currently adopted.
He said it was sad for people to freely insult their Republican President, but commended the late president Levy Mwanawasa for trying to correct the situation.
Meanwhile, Ms Siliya said trade was the engine of development and it needed good infrastructure if the country was to use it as a tool for improving the economy.
She said too much time had been spent on meetings and her ministry was in a hurry to implement developmental programs because that was what people were interested in.
Ms Siliya called on the private sector to embrace and supplement government efforts in implementing programs in the communications and transport sector since government alone did not have adequate resources to develop the sector.
Ms Siliya is in Livingstone to host her counterparts from Malawi and Mozambique for the Inter State Zambezi Shire Consultative Meeting to explore the possibility of navigating the Zambezi and Shire Rivers in a bid to open up water transport up to the Indian Ocean .

ok
is it moral or immoral support?
What kind of genuine leadership is Old Munkombwe talking about? This man never stops surprising me.
Too bad Mr Munkombwe.You should wait for the outcome before comenting sir.
What??? this man is not a genuine leader. Please tell this old man to think before he yaps. And to count up to 13 before he comments on serious issues.
Munkombwe a man from the archive of UNIP has no morals for saying Chiluba is to blame for bringing democracy. I really don’t know what LPM saw in him, the same with RB. Munkombwe is too sycophantic in all his actions. How I with eagerness look to 2011 for this guys to be kicked out. They are a mess to Zambia.
Can , the old man Munkombwe retire . He has no gray matter to function. He is , a dementing person just like his appointee RB whom, the *** are you….the demagogues…
What a shameful statement.
UNIP ooooye oye!!!!! UNIP mulilo, mulilo, waikatako wapya!!!!!! One Zambia! One Nation! One Nation! One Leader! and that Leader! bla bla bla bla bla bla
I hate it, when you ,moderate my comments Munkombwe is a dinosaur
This man does not cease to amaze each time he opens his mouth rubbish comes out of his mouth, honestly he is blaming the introduction of democracy, he should differentiate between criticism and insults. This man shouldnt have been appointed minister, there is nothing in his head, he has a pumpkin representing his head……
Guys this mukolwe munkombwe has been in govt since 1964 n up to now. His children have great grand children. African politics are a circus. how cud u pas such a coment wen the isue is stil under investigation. U r underatin the power vested in our judicial. Guys aluma no putilila. U r askin us 2 swear at u. So u r not hapi wth the litle democracy that we hav. Mudala count up to 13 as some1 wrote swalow salaiva then tok. Mwani dabwisa mudala. Hope dora wont sign anythin wth her counter part. We nid the nacala n zambezi shire coridor but wait dora read undastand n act dont ignore the advice
These are seasoned politicians. They are masters of the art of butt-kissing. That’s what makes them tick!
#9, Moderation is a common comment by L.T. , please don’t lose heart, just keep strong.
They say old is gold but iv never found any gold in Mukombwes words.What he said is not a surprise.Twalibasula bashikulu,nabakota
Let dinosaurs , let the alligators , let crocodiles , give us direction . shall follow humbly your wisdom Lord for you gave dominion over creation…..shalom because we shall know the truth…some day soon.
Ba lt wat abt my posting? Didnt swear but r not showing. Internet is money n phone fonts r killing my eyes. Its not the iphone, omnia nor blackberry its nokia 3310. Show my postings
On “The Provincial Minister also alleged that the introduction of democracy in Zambia by former President, Fredrick Chiluba, was to blame for the culture of insults that people had currently adopted”, I am puzzled that the whole lot of an old man Mr Daniel Munkombwe does not know that it is not Mr Chiluba FTJ (Hon. Doc., Malawi) who brought democracy to Zambia.
Zambians and other must give credit to Dr Kenneth Kaunda for bringing Democracy to Zambia when he let his 3 years, that were remaining before his mandate of President of Zambia to end, be cut off allowing multi party democratic elections to take off in Zambia after a long long time of one-party participatory democracy. SAD!
The Provincial Minister also alleged that the introduction of democracy in Zambia by former President, Fredrick Chiluba, was to blame for the culture of insults that people had currently adopted. ARE THESE THE LEADERS WE HAVE 18 YEARS AFTER MULTIPARTY DEMOCRACY WAS BROUGHT BACK. THAT IS WHY RUPIAH BANDA HAS FAILED TO ADJUST BECAUSE OF HIS UNIP MENATLITY LIKE MUNKOMBWE.
Moral support, is that what you call it? There sure is no honour among corrupt men and women.
”The Provincial Minister also alleged that the introduction of democracy in Zambia by former President, Fredrick Chiluba, was to blame for the culture of insults that people had currently adopted.
He said it was sad for people to freely insult their Republican President, but commended the late president Levy Mwanawasa for trying to correct the situation.” *****Looking at these words above ,i would say the old man is really not well in his head,nothing more i can say*****
FUTURE OLD PEOPLE, LEARN TO SPEAK WELL OF ELDERS. You know this tribunal is not going to do anything, Dora will still be minister. So, suck it up.
LT, Where are my comments going
The old man should be locked in for contempt.
Maestro thank you very much.I went to see a doctor and he said am just okay.Maestro you are not what most people say you are.Most bloggers condemned me saying i like womanising,but i only have one girl and thats my fiance.People that i thought were my friends here are not.Maestro,you comforted me and gave advice.People made funny of my problem am so suprised.Thanx Maestro,the doctor said its just a fungai infection and gave me medicine.God bless you.
Munkombwe belongs to archives he should shut his big mouth.Shameless old man
Ba munkombwe the case is under investgation n u r pasing such a coment. Contempt of court. ba elder had it not been 4 democracy u wudnt hav suportd dora morally. Viva munkombwe in politics since 1964? Long live bakaaamba. Dora meeting her counterparts? Mum, read, ask,understand then act. 4get abt the moral suport nkani is in court.
pliz Mr Munkombwe next time if someone visits you and you don’t have any thing to say, just say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMIING TO SEE ME.not just bursting like a rotten mangoe fallen form a tree.
#24,Lusaka City sorry,I feel for you,dont get what people say to you,most bloggers are damn frustrated,jealousy and full of hate,just hold your grip and stay on your grind and it will be well with you,for only God takes care of us and him alone can judge us.I too was down and I jus got word from my girl, who told me that in life I should only strive to be happy for no one will do that for me,word up,word is born and am cool.Negative words always produce negative thoughts which results into depression.Them bloggers are monsters,as for me I smoke them f**ls cause thats how I keep dem away.Everybody is snitching nowadays trust no one,not even Maestro.
24. Lusaka City, you are very welcome. I am glad that you visited a Doctor and your situation is under control. Thank God that you acted upon the advice from Him through me and for providing you with guidance to this point in life.
Yes, many characters on LT have said a lot of lies and insulted me all because I was awarded a by LT for being a force to reckon with in the year 2008 on this blog, but I have met them head on with truth such that truth is now setting me free as the Holy Bible records.
Please, keep well and take careful care for many who have failed to match up with me are in a delusion to bring my name down. Whatever the case, the good Lord God has been with me and will…
29 continued.
Otherwise, may you have quick recuperation and look up to the good Lord God for everything Lusaka City.
Back to Provincial Minister Munkombwe D, I am very sad that the old man can not appreciate the constructive critism is their to better his and his boss’ government operations in order to serve the Zambian people of all forms.
How I hope our leaders will begin to do a service to our great Nation and not to go into politics to survive financially at the expense of suffering masses.
Anyhow, let us wait and see the final outcome to this Minister Dora Siliya Tribunal. Then, we will be able to comprehend whether Mr Munkombwe was real serious when he issued these statements…
THE PARTY AND ITS GOVERNMENT IN PLACE.
The young and the mighty shall prevail
Its time these old guys gave up positions to young pipo who have fresh and creative minds to lead the nation to success,other wise with this type of leaders we are going nowhere!! How on earth do you give moral support to someone who has do something imoral, it means you are also imoral,thieves support each other!!
This is , our , time . for us , to forge forward Not to enjoy , but emancipate Zambia.
Why??????
Its fine to support. Hope this guy (Munkombwe) does not dodge when the going gets tougher. I am still waiting for RB and Kunda to comment.
Submissions made by both the AG and SG show clearly that George Kunda bore false evidence for Dora with a wicked intent of misleading the public. I await to see whether the LAZ is going to assegai that red lipped snake or chicked out. The only chap with bollocks made os steel is M’Membe.
“And Mr Munkombwe assured Ms Siliya that most of the bridges in the province were in good condition but bemoaned the lack of progress on some roads like the Choma-Namwala road”…Mr minister,what about the Livingstone / Zimba road?How long is it going to take to make good that road? I m sure you have used that road a number of times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oldman and the medal Munkombe??????
HONOUR AMONG THIEVES.
WHEN IS GOD GOING TO REMOVE MORONS LIKE MUNKOMBWE FROM OUR MIDIST. AWE I DONT KNOW WHAT TO THINK NOW. NO WONDER THEY ARE PRAYING FOR CHILUBA TO BE FOUND NOT GUILTY. THE OTHER THING KK SEEMS TO HAVE CHANGED HIS STANCE. I REMEMBER HOW HE WORKED WITH MMEMBE TO MAKE SURE CHILUBA WAS BROUGHT TO BOOK. WHY IS KK SO QUIET?
what good do you expect from RB’s generation of leadership ?
What a bunch of imoral being we have as Ministers. Old man retire, please!!!
I had great admiration for the big man. But this, is definitely, out of scope. Power really corrupts. Who, with this massive evidence that Dora was corrupt, can stand with face high and support Dora’s incompetence and lack of moral uprightness in that high office. Munkombwe is now daring the people of Zambia with cheap nonsense. Fit your age and call a spade, a spade. have morals big man! Shame!
Siliya must learn that speed kills. She had to take it easy. This is the rule of law and not of man. Her plans were attractive but the procedure to execute them was definitely not right.
Ba Munkombwe badala, so you dont want democracy and freedom of expression in this nation? I think you belong to the stone age!
# 39. Munkombwe is a senile lunatic. He failed to point out the deplorable condition of the Livingstone-Zimba road, which has been in a sorry state for donkey years.
Munkombwe should just keep quiet and enjoy himself inteady of fooling Zambians. Can a normal person support what Dora has been accused of doing? We are keenly watching
Mwanchinga ba LT ka? its ok but tell Munkombwe to keep quiet. He should stop kubwetukabwetuka
Blah blah blah blah! yapppppppy ,yappppppy! wooooof, wooooof! mew!meeeew! that all he knows! Old selfsh man! support? he doesnt even know why his friend is being investigated!
Good morning Baby C,……………..lol
Good morning Gdef!
I think the man is does not have the proper education of politics.I would suggest he stays quite till the case is done.
hmmmm, baby c ,nice day mama,check you later
What if she is found guity, will Munkombwe stop believing in the judiciary? Just wait for the outcome sir, otherwise you will just embarass yourself
Munkombwe is mad
Daniel Munkombwe is a deadwood. This man is not even respected in his home village. He can only reappear in politics by a political appointment by another deadwood like Shreik. What a dissapoinment. This older generation in Zed is so disgracefull. Hope ours will not breed useless chaps like these..
Munks is from the old archives of UNIP, he can not see and understand what transpired in the Communications and transport ministry.
He should reverse his statements [-x
Munkombwe was genuflecting. He wanted to impress ‘madam minister’ that all was well in Livingstone, typical of UNIP days. If you have noticed, Shreik enjoys politics of servitude too – yet we are in the 21st Century.
IF YOU ARE MMD YOU CAN STEAL AND STILL WIN SYMPATHY AND PROTECTION. IF YOU ARE FROM THE POST/OPPOSITION EVEN IF YOU ARE ONLY A SUSPECT YOU ARE GONNA MAN. BY THE WAY DO PEOPLE REMEMBER THAT THIS BANDA WHO WAS ONCE DEPORTED BY CHILUBA IS THE SAME WHO BEAT UP FORMER LATE VP LATE SM KAPWEPWE AND KK DID NOTHING SINCE THIS WAS DONE TO TEACH KAPWEPWE A LESSON FOR CHALLENGING KK?
45 years ago, Obama was a year old. Munkombwe & VJ were politicians. 2day they are still in Govt when Obama is President. They still want to make decisions even now. No wonder they are telling Siliya a lot of crap. When you are old, mind the way you flap yo trap! Buchembele habuna repair… Babulezi Malozi!
Munkombwe is just a rubber-stamp that doesn’t undrstand what to say and at what time,infact he had nothing to say to Siliya, he should have just kept quite over Dora’s case and concerate on other issues such as the floods affecting us at the Kazungula Border causing conjetion hence calling for speedy government action for the contruction of the Bridge…………………….not the nonsense he was trying to cover up for Siliya as a boot-licker!!!!
aaah wena #62, stop misusing the word “bull”, there is nothing like “Barotse Bull” there is only the one and ONLY “Tonga Bulls” next time you misbehave, you gonna be taken to the Mazabuka cane fields. As for Munkombwe, I do even know why we are wasting time on his comments. The man is past the age where his comments can be taken seriously. When people grow too old, they become like babies
But CHIMUDALA ichi eeeeh! As for you Miss P***Y, as you are interacting with your counterparts, before committing yourself to signing anything, if at all there will be need for such, first read, understand, consult and heed to advice especially from qualified pipo on the issues and then you can sign. OK MAMA??
The headline should be ‘Munkombwe assures Siliya of IMMORAL support’…………..
U are right Major. Chi Munkombwe ichifyashi chilelwisha ukulya po !!!! No story.
#67 Umuntu mutwe: it should read ICHIFYASHI CHILEFWAYA UKUCHITA!
Does it mean that in Zambia there are no credible young leaders or what?It really amazes me to see very old people like Munkombwe clinging to a job kwati ka mpelwa. Can this old man retire please and give chance to young people.
Is Munkombwe scared that Dora might name him on her list, I hear there is a list of pipo who Dora wants to name and it seems ike the manis very scared.
Watch the space, Mr Mk
Munkombwe never ceases to amaze me!!! Whenever he decides to open his mouth, he shows no evidence of wisdom
#68. I don’t think he can afford it. At his age, he can easily lapse into petit mal.
LT, nothing you do will stop me from commenting on this story! It is people like you (assuming you are one), who retard development. Dont infringe on my right to be heard. Ndiwe shushushu?
Chi Munks left out Livingstone/ Zimba road as one of the roads that have delayed by the Chinese in the Southern Province when he was trying to impress this mother Dora Siliya a b. i. t .c. h
Even when Munkombwe is saying that, he knows that Siliya is gone !
As long as Zambia keeps spent forces such as Munkombwe in ministerial positions the country will remain undeveloped for decades to come. These are people who are taking Zambia backwards. One wonders what both Mwanawasa and Banda saw in this old fossil to appoint and retain him as a provincial minister? Political expediency by our presidents is killing Zambia. Perhaps he is failing to reason properly because is operating from Livingstone a town that is polluted because it is very dirty. The man must just go back to Choma to play with his great grandchildren. He has NOTHING to offer.
Ba Munkombwe, when I was President of Malawi (before my death) you were a Minister in Kaunda’s government. My ghosts tell me you were a Minister in Chiluba’s regime, now Mwanawasa, who is sitting next to me, tells me you were his Minister. My ghosts are telling me that you are Minister in Banda’s government! How did you manage to be in good books with all Prezs?
LT What a wonderful photo of Munkombwe and Dora that you have chosen to use! Great work, keep it up!!
Nonsense from a senile man. He also collects tuma 12.5 million kwachas in shopping mall car parks for boreholes without signing for the money. He does not know the meaning of nullity and has possibly signed a number of agreements without reading them!
