The MMD has described as political malice a statement yesterday by United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema that there is a document where the ruling party is courting him for the position of prime minister in a newly proposed alliance.
National chairperson for information and publicity Dora Siliya said in Lusaka that the announcement by Mr Hichilema at a media briefing was a campaign gimmick meant to give credence to the UPND leader.
She said the opposition political party had collapsed with the death of founding president Anderson Mazoka and Mr Hichilema was tiny minded with nothing more to offer on any political table.
Mr Hichilema told the media earlier that his party had come across a document in which the new alliance involving the National Democratic Focus, the Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) and the United Liberal Party (ULP) would be formed.
He said he decided to expose the MMD and assure supporters that the pact would remain intact and that the document was meant to be leaked to Mr Sata so that he could withdraw from the pact formed by the PF and UPND.
But Ms Siliya said the pact was dead and only existed in the minds of the two leaders without the support on the ground.
She said the MMD did not require the UPND to roll to victory in next year’s elections because it remains big and wide spread unlike his party which was dividing Zambians through tribalism.
Ms Siliya, who is Minister of Education, said when two small parties come together, they still remain small and less influential and that the MMD cannot accept an alliance with such a party.
She wondered how Mr Hichilema can entertain the thought that he can become prime minister of Zambia with his immature politics.
“Firstly, there is no pact to talk about because it has been destroyed by Mr Hichilema and Mr Sata.
“Mr Hichilema is selfish because his own chiefs and MPs have told us that they were not consulted when this pact was formed,” Ms Siliya said.
Meanwhile, the ULP leader Sakwiba Sikota has described as false a statement by Mr Hichilema that there was a new alliance.
He said each time Mr Hichilema held a Press briefing, he said nothing tangible for the people of Zambia to follow other than insults.
Mr Hichilema said the document had been produced by the Government and was intended to be given to Mr Sata so that he loses trust in UPND.
The pact would not split votes any more because the members have declared that they would continue supporting it.

I thought she was educaton minister to talk about development of education in our country. I am disappointed. I will find her a man to marry her maybe that is when she will know how to do her job.
What is this big H.U.L.E. Dora saying again? She has become very u.s.e.l.e.s.s these dayz. She thinks this is R.P Capital?

This Dollar Yasila second wife to Mubwezeni Kumunzi Banda is making a lot of noise. She want her position as a private second lady to be known and felt by the Tonga bull. Ba first lady bali ndwiii.
Can’t this HOE just keep quiet? we all know how cunning MMD is so we cant buy into their nonsense! Just shut up Miss RP Capital!
The dictionaries of insults have all been borrowed by LT blogers. Mukabweshe bamambala. You have masters enough insults now. If it was slave trade time, some of these bloggers would have been sold as slaves.
Dora is not a politician, simple as that
in politics know what you say and able to defend it anytime of your life.
Dora is making headlines, each time I see her picture on LT I know I will read some good insults I wounder if she visits this site!! She would have Ziped up a long time ago:o:o:o:o:o[-([-([-(
VJ recently claimed that he did an assessment in Southern Province and claimed people there prefer MMD-UPND pact.
Now that HH has rubbished that thought,MMD are all out attacking him,even simple minds like $ yasila.By the way,Did i see Sakwiba Sikota’s name somewhere?
awe kwena ba dora teti mwebwala mo :-\”:-\”:-\”:-\”:-\”:-\”:-\”ba weshi no mwana – and you still have the audacity to talk nosense
No2 & 3. You are not disciplined. Learn to analyse instead of insulting old pipo. Which ever tribe you come from you are a disgrace to your own tribe. You put your comments in Bemba, if you are not Bemba you tarnishing the image of the language, if you are trully a Bemba, then shame on you and your tribe
One point taken from Dora, “tribalism dividing people”. For as long as pact supporters keep saying if Sata is chosen I’ll not vote or if HH is chosen as leader I’ll note vote, then surely the pact is damned! Whether you chaps like it or note MMD is going or the predicated violence is coming to the docile nation of Zambia as people are tired of living in abject poverty.
# 16 stop your colonial inferiority complex,Bemba is a Zambian language and everyone has the right to use or abuse it.Why do you want Zambians to use only English? We have our own beautiful Languages,Lozi,Tonga,Bemba,Lunda,Lenje etc.Be proud and use any language you like am sure there are many bloggers who will know what you are saying! The fact is Bemba is frequently used because of urbanisation and most people in Zambia with access to the net live where Bemba,Nyanja,Lozi are spoken.In short the line of rail!
Dora. Everyone deserves a second chance in life. Utilise yo second chance and clean-up yo act. Ba wishi no mwana? There’s no smoke without fire but I believe you can still change situations in yo life. Even the worst prostitutes do sometimes finally settle down with a good man. I realy feel for you.
On “The MMD has described as political malice a statement yesterday by United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema that there is a document where the ruling party is courting him for the position of prime minister in a newly proposed alliance” why is it that the MMD is dismissing the document they may not have seen yet.
Please, Dora and ULP unelected leader Sakwiba Sikota, learn to attack 2011 UPND presidential candidate with real issues as opposed to portraying your bitterness all the time. This is time for you to be civil in your approach to president HH following the apology example from Mr President RB Banda who has realised that president HH and his family may be in State House next year after elections.
Be blessed dall.

“People are tired of living in abject poverty.”
Abject = most unfortunate or miserable.
This word is often annexed to poverty in Zambia, but really is it true? Zambians may be poor, but I do not think the poverty is ‘abject.’ Besides all this, whose responsibility is it to take oneself out of poverty? Please do not confuse the western world with Zambia. In the west, there is no land whatsoever, so if you are unemployed you need State help. In Zambia land is ‘chipumu mbwee’ and you can settle almost anywhere (no planning restrictions) or go back to the village. Why should people be poor? I have a grade 9 drop out cousin who is doing very well rearing ‘free range’ chickens, pigs and goats in the village. Has never borrowed money from a bank!
Michael Sata and his concubine of convenience Ichilema’s type of politics is marked by surreal distortion and often a sense of impending danger to opposition democracy MMD is passionately know for promoting: The two are in worst kind of Kafkaesque fantasies.
Why is it that some people are still living in the dark ages? Cant you disagree with Siliya without referring to her as a ‘hule’? What kind of sexism is this and yet you support a man who impregnates sisters whilst already married and takes commune in church? Is a woman not supposed to have opinions and be able to express them? Hypocrites!

Imwe ni fuseko bushe uyu DORA ali single i???????????????:d
Sansakuwa,are u a witchdoctor from Luapula province or u just share the name?
Education minister has much to do to clear the the damaged system….woman learn to do ur job
Dora should not just parrot statements. In Zambia we have learnt that theres no smoke without fire !
I have a voter’s card and iam just waiting to fire this Govt of F.O.O.Ls!!!
#26 Whether or not I am a ng’anga or traditional healer (some of us are enlightened enough not to use derogatory terms such as ‘witch-doctor’) is neither here or there. Sata has fathered children with two sisters whilst married to Kaseba who is not his first wife and yet nobody calls him ‘hule’. Why then should a woman be subjected to insults just because she might have views contrary to yours? You dont have to agree with Dora but lets have intelligent debate which accords equal status to women regardless of their political affiliation. Perhaps I am just wasting my time with the likes of you who do not seem to understand the modern world?
The pact is unstoppable!!!!!! come what may propaganda will not do.
At least her hair looks better in that pic.
Umwana na Bawishi, awe sure fye tafilibwino. No wonder you receiving all these inults from left, right and centre. Awe sure fye umuchinshi mummy. Naumfwa umwenso, aaaah/
Try to sit and think before you make any statements, I don’t think you’re the type anyway, otherwise just zip it.
Hon. Dora Siliya is a hardworking individual who most of you know very well from the time she at ZNBC until she climbed up while most of you on here her age have achieved nothing. Hon. Dora has contributed positively to the growth of Zambia. Its either you are jealous or you cant stand a hard working beaultiful and sexy woman who you envision everytime you look at your ugly other half! Lets face it, the lady is a fighter, a hustler and has a vision for Zambia! Just come home to Zambia and prove your popularity!
# 33 Thief boring liquor . Really!! We want more! It`s not enough for you to tell us that she is a sexy woman and that she`s a hastler when she climbs up. Looking at her un impressive social record, chances are that you probably had an encounter and that day she sent you to the moon with a high voltage impulse along those loose wires enclosed in your primordial skull and from that event , you could hardly face your ugly wife. Well , buddy, unfortunately we cannot take heed of your advise to go back home and prove our popularity to dora because we think she`s bn messed enough.
#21 Noting that you are posting from a country other than Zambia, chances are that you don’t know what you are talking about, all round. You don’t know Zambia and Zambians.
Dora, you used to be beautiful. What happened dearest? Now you are a sack of potatoes, all puffed up and sh!t. Aren’t there gyms in Lundazi? Yeah, there is your worthwhile project – one that can benefit you personally as well as your constituency.
