Dear Editor,
A YOUNG person can outgrow his or her juvenile delinquency but for adult delinquency I am not so sure. Politicians out of their own free will open themselves up for public scrutiny and analysis by running for public office. Their private affairs and personal character become issues of public interest and concern.
The insulting gesture made in parliament by Dora Siliya was disappointing and sad. Could this be a reflection of her social background? This is not the first time this madam is giving us a snippet of her personal characteristics. We still remember during the general election campaigns when she was distributing gay photos as a campaign tactic.
At one campaign forum she was taunting men and flaunting herself in praise of her soft body parts. She even had to drag an innocent ex-husband into her political tantrums.
To imagine that this is a person representing descent people of Petauke and was a former education minister in charge of our curious young minds in schools. I just hope the education curriculum was not tampered with nor contaminated with traces of such delinquencies.
This may look like a simple matter. It is not.
The fact that she raised that insulting finger gesture in full view of this Christian nation, in the people’s house and in front of elders speaks volumes about lack of basic respect and moral uprightness. where is the etiquette and decorum of Parliament? Does the opening prayer conducted at every sitting mean anything to people like Ms Siliya?
What has MMD her party led by a pastor got to say about this. Parliament through Mr Speaker {Patrick Matibini] needs to instill some discipline into some of these uncultured people before hell breaks loose.
