RB welcomes tribunal to probe Siliya
President Rupiah Banda has welcomed the setting up of a tribunal by Acting Chief Justice Ireen Mambilima to probe allegations leveled against Transport and Communications Minister Dora Siliya.
State House Chief Analyst for Press and Public Relations Dickson Jere confirmed this in a statement released to ZANIS in Lusaka today.
Mr. Banda hoped that all those involved in the ongoing debate would allow the tribunal established under the Ministerial and Parliamentary code of conduct to conduct its work in a professional manner.
He said he has since written to the Acting Chief Justice informing her that he had instructed the Secretary to the Treasury to make financial provisions for the tribunal’s operations.
“I wish to say that I am happy that the tribunal has been constituted and I am confident that justice will prevail,” President Banda said.
The President has also since appealed to all Zambians to refrain from making comments, which could be prejudicial on the matter as it is now before a competent tribunal.
He said the nation should wait for the final verdict of the tribunal after conducting its proceedings.

Our ears and eyes are wide open on this National Issue.
Sorry poor Dora I feel for you. You need a big bear hug right now.
Dora should either resign so that the investigation can be carried out without any influence from her as a minister. If she is innocent Im sure she will be given other appointments in future,for now she needs to be out.
Casila Dora ncito yasila.
Sometimes ififine fi ma Tribunal they take too long to conclude issues..
Ilyashi ya mutatakuya…
Transparency should prevail in this issue.
RB should have sent Dora on leave so as not to interfere with possible evidence from her ministry as well as not to compromise some of sub-ordinates who may testify against her. Better still, she should have resigned on her own.
Finally RB has said something sensible!
Sadly most Zambians are failures in life and at leadership development because they are entrenched in a culture of mouth Diarrhea and are naturally susceptible to sensationalism that plays on their emotions. Mmembe has found a niche to confuse. Not a surprise that many will never be leaders any life domain.
Yes! Send Dora on leave pending investigation. Otherwise nivacabecabe.
Morpheus has spoken. Let the law take its course.
plz jail her like her reverend friend!!
Resign please madam minister. Days are numbered.Your happy days are over my dear.
This is the beginning of the end of the reign of Doras
Matworld
I have seen. Wait for tomorrow
….but here on LT we cannot refrain from commenting. she should resign her position to allow the tribunal investigate the allegations without interference.
Why is he talking now. By saying “let justice prevail” he implies that “Dora is innocent, and if you will sit on the tribunal, watch the type of verdict you deliver”. Folks, I am trained in analysing and decyphering speech. He is now talking in parables. I have read his lips already. Forget, he has created employment for those that will sit on it.
Which competent tribunal?
UILO ULI KUTI? Has Mmembe also influenced RB to welcome the tribunal?
He has ‘instructed’ the Secretary to the Treasury to make financial provisions to the Tribunal? Hasnt the Judiciary been catered for in the budget that was announced a couple of weeks ago. Mwe bantu Zambia is really a dysfunctional state!
Dora must be dropped to pave way for investigation. That is Levy’s Legacy. After all if she is innocent, Bwezani can bweza her again. I can assure you that CORRUPT Bwezani will not drop her. Sata should just organise DEMONSTRATORS to go and demand Dora’s dropping axe from Bwezani. I Large Mouthed Ben will this time side with the majority Zambians. I CAN ASSURE YOU BWEZANI is busy bringing back ALL UNIPISTS who are still alive. Malimba Masheke will soon head for the Foreign Service to join Very old Herbert Simutowe who is headed for Cairo Mission. Grey Zulu will soon be Ambassador in Malawi. This man is up to no good. I eat with him, believe me.
# 17. Dr. Real Brain, you are spot on, they will use this to cleanse Dora out of the trouble….wako ni wako mudala!!!
Engine Bbuloko just clik reply to No.17 not the way you have done,that is the old school Style.
yes man! my thougt too, old style is out, in with the new.
Here we go again:d
Shouldn’t the president keep quiet about such?:-?
The Minister should not resign and President Banda as a seasoned career Diplomat must avoid reactionary decisions based on hyperboles and insindiary intents without systemic authentications or fillings.Doing so would be pushing the country into anarchy unwittingly through a dangerous culture of malice.Every jim and jack would start cooking, rehearsing and spinning against Government officials with impunity and the trend would disturbilise the country.Use Institutions and tools of the state to capacity in gathering, corralation, analysis and decision making other other calls of self appointed,plantiful,prosecutors,judges,jurists and arresting of officers.
Dora Doras….I feel for you. Just resign madam. No more trotting the world. Well come back to the field of unemployment. Join nawakwi who cant run a party but sells her body to every president though she could not do it with LPM. [-([-([-([-([-(
Yazanda ka. Dora was my Headgirl at Kabulonga Girls School !
Ok thats good lets wait and see how it goes.:-w:-w:-w:-w:-w

21. TETAMASHIMBA BEN,
Was Jonas Siakafuswe made to step down during his investigations? For Your information, levy was not perfect to be a bench mark of all Zambian Presidents.Let his flaws rest wth him at Embassy park.If you plan your leadership absolute on Levy’s model, you at risk of being a failure in life.Levy failed in many areas economically, politically and constitutionally.
#29 Punde Punde please tone down pali bana pa internet please.
she was ‘head girl’ for many am sure.

I hope people will wait, accept the outcome and move on.

#25 The Jurist. You have a point but that point is only workable in developed countries. We have had people who are being tried now for plunder and one wonders if that money will ever be recovered. Now, thats what makes people lose faith in those politicians and the only way is to take this approach. Its purely out of frustration but well meaning to ensure that these folks are kept in check. They never go before parliamentary scrutiny before being confirmed as ministers, so there are a lot of factors to weigh before we can take your approach.
#31 naumfwa. But Dora must be removed from ministry awe fyachila mo.
i dont know why they dont learn from fellow politicians who visits the courts of law every day instead of resting after retirement.

AT LEAST A FEW MORE JOBS CREATED IN THESE TROUBLED TIMES
The tribunal is just a smokescreen. there is just too much pressure! I am sure the tribunal is full of RBB, George Kunda and Siliya’s people! Nonsense!
““I wish to say that I am happy that the tribunal has been constituted and I am confident that justice will prevail,” President Banda said. The President has also since appealed to all Zambians to refrain from making comments, which could be prejudicial on the matter as it is now before a competent tribunal.” Thats my President Banda. He is the man. I’m glad he is happy about the setting up of the tribunal to investigate the actions of Minister Dora Siliya and asked us all Zambians to relax and wait for the verdict on these issues. Of course ILL-MOTIVATED Zeds will try to pass judgment.I wish Minister Siliya, Minister Veep G. Kunda and President RB Banda all the best in this particular case.
No. 35 Dr Real Brain
Dude, what’s your exact stance on the Dora issue? On the other news item I categorically gave points explaining why Dora will walk away scot free. You where the first one to hammer my argument. Now you’ve joined the crusaders predicting her innocence. What’s your game?

Well, this Dora issue is moving at record speed. I wish the global economy would recover at the same speed.
I also have a feeling ba Dora has a lot of butterflies flattering in her stomach right now.
No fighting today please[-x

51. LIVINGSTONIAN please check your laast posting i have just rated it
The beauty of a computer and Internet
There should be no meddling and engineering in picking the tribunal panel. I trust Justice Irene Mambilima, no one should influence her.
RB had no choice but to accept the idea of a tribunal being set up. He knows that Dora is probably guilty of misconduct but will take the opportunity to at least sound like his administration’s dealings are above board.
As much as they have a personal issue with Dora, The Post are doing the nation a great service in this case. We shouldn’t end up losing ZAMTEL in the same manner as ZANACO which was sold for peanuts (or a bit less).
#53 nchito
Dora is in problems, most issues started by POST end up in courts.
50. Yobweleka and #51. LIVINGSTONIAN, thank you very much for your objectiveness and giving me big ups.
I believe that Zambia is not short of sensible people who can analyse issues in an acceptable manner.
The POST can cheat a few ill-informed characters or divert such characters’ attention but not me.
Let the POST and its other shareholders in Zambian Airways face the law to its full extent. We need that tax payers money that that combined group of wrong people to operate an airline for public use to build schools and hospitals including improving our currently bad transport infrastructure.
Until the next time, happy Sabbath Day to you all.
No 45 Maestro Hhehhehhehhe. I have a question for you. If Dora Siliya was a bemba or from bemba speaking province like northern, luapula, central, copperbelt – what would you have said? Now that she is not bemba, then…….
lets wait and see.
You are a …..
Please, Cebtral Province isn’t bemba speaking. Do not twist facts. Soon you will say the whole country is bemba speaking. People can see through such impositions and machinations.

LT Bloggers I am on my Knees!! Please do not twist and squeeze every thread until you raise a tribal issue !! Not today please. Let us spend the beautiful hours left before LT goes for panel beating!!
Let us learn to respect each other as human beings.
This is meant for ALL Bloggers. Fenkyu

I hope the acting Chief Justice will appt the tribunal herself. Govt must not have a hand in it or it will not free and fair. Zambia will soon see the fall of a big wig headed Dora “NALIYA”. Acting Chief, we know you are corrupt free, Stand your ground.
No.65 Jama@co
Get back on your feet and spare your knees from bruises. We have 72 tribes and tribalism is here to stay.
I think that corruption in Zambia is evenly distributed. The issue of tribe is neither here nor there.
You guys pushing for Dora to get to leave,do you have money to pay her if she wins the case?
RB said that Siliya is smatter than anyone else and whoever is criticizing Minister Silya is not talking sense, knowing that a minister is not allowed to commit the government to expenditure and financial obligations. Where is the Minister of Finance, Public Accounts Committee of Parliament, Auditor General and ZNTB?
#62 Iwe ulefwaya uyi zandamune, te? [-x
Can’t you see that Maestro came in peace today? He even wished us a good sabath.
You want him to return in pieces? b-(
#58. Rogue Trader
Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t.
RB is a seasoned politician. He has been around for a very long time.
Wow!! :”>
Despite the Dora saga, things are currently bad in Zambia. We understand it’s a global crises but we need RB to show true leadership, don’t just sit back and feast on cakes as if all is well. Give us hope as Zambians, we don’t seem to have a future anymore. We have a crisis, Copperbelt is in dire need of investment. We lack credible leaders in Zambia. Youths let us rise and join forces to dislodge these old guys, these people are out of touch with the real world.
these tribunals work. those who remember the mushota/machungwa tribunal? these guys lost their ministerial positions and at that time the chief justice then, a geezer called ngulube who was even eating with chiluba was in charge.
Another Tribunal should be set up to investigate how Mwanawasa used Fred Mmembe and his Post Newspapers to writing false stories on ZNOC, which stories Mwanawasa used as cover to steal Zambia national oil Company.
Rb is not even saying what he is saying from the bottom of his heart.He just want to sound like he respects the law.Ala these people ba chabe chabe.This is politics bane.Some of you are happy that the government is ploting to arrest Membe and Mutembo Nchito. The government want to do that on the pretex that Zambia airways ows them money.But the whole idea is to silence the post which is perceived to be their major strumbling block. And that makes you happy? Cant you read between the line? What kind of Zambia are we going to have without the post? These crooks will steal a lot without anyone to expose them.Dont just talk about what you dont even know have data first ala.
I wonder if the Parliamentary and munustrial code of conduct does not require a person being probed to step aside otherwise it may be a mockery
#71 VOTE RIGGER
You’re right. He’s been around for a long time. Inspite of his fifteen year sabbatical (1991 to 2006) he kept in touch with the times and was able to adapt to the standards of current Zambian politics.
# 71, #79
How true. He is indeed a seasoned politician. I wonder if Chiluba wasn’t!!!
We expected RB to respond to the allegations sorrounding Dora the first time the rumous were going round. Alas, he squandered the opportunity and instead came to Dora’s defence, describing everyone else behind the allegations as ‘talking nonsense.’ He therefore does not inspire me at all for his late entry in the fight against corruption. Sorry Mr. President, no accolades from me. Try your luck next time.
#78 Shimwikatankanana
I recall Sikota Wina, Princess Nakatindi Wina and Vernon Mwaanga resigning in 1994 to pave way for investigations into alleged drug trafficking. I don’t see Dora resigning though.
RB is fit to be a chief not a president. This guy is supposed to be educated but his actions are no different from those of mpezeni who is not educated.
**==
RB is now eating his own vomit. I expect Dora to resign. What does the tribunal say about a person under investigations? Mwamona baiche (Dora) these are national issues.
86. Obama
you are right!! Forming a tribunal shows that people mistrust you!! So the best move by Dora right now would be to resign. Do these people have advisors?
Surely in our discussions we should have respect for authority and just anyone for that matter. It starts in small things like this. I am disgusted with some comments; especially #3.
Secondly, there is so much suspicion in everything such that now I understand why we cannot achieve anything meaningful!!!!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH RB being happy that the tribunal will be set up??
With some people, there is NOTHING good unless by themselves!!
#77 .. Please Zambia has existed without The Post before (it cam,e in 1991) and it will exist without it when it is gone – when we do not know. Life goes on!!!
#88. Respect Please!! What makes you feel so sure that RB is happy with the setting up of a tribunal? His initial reaction proves you wrong. Even in your house, if your neighbors came with a complaint that your son had been stealing from their poultry and you responded by calling them ‘nonsense, would that not imply your complicity in your son’s actions?
Here what we all want is JUSTICE to prevail. The tribunal is there!! Unless we do not trust the tribunal then there is a problem.
For RB’s initial reaction – well generally we(all of us) try to protect our own – untill we realise that we are standing on sinking ground. So the tribunal will determine. If guilt, they will prescribe the medicine. If NOT guilty, it will have been probably resources wasted.
The same tribunal that RB is happy about will also be formed to inspect him. Just wait. The very thing that makes you happy, will make you cry.
:d
Corruption is corruption regardless of which tribe commits. All who commit it should be jailed. We have observed that some people are untouchable coz they don’t fall Chiluba’s roots. If Dora were from chiluba’s tribe all people would have been calling for his crucifixion. The other example is FRA director’s case; we have heard there is government interference in the investigations why?? Please let us fight corruption regardless of which tribe is involved. Not only chiluba’s tribe. We are watching all these happenings. [-x[-x[-x[-x[-x[-x[-x[-x
It is very encouraging and a good way forward for the country that the President has succumbed to pressure and ORDERED for money to be made available.
>-
BUT, he should now temporarily relieve Dora of her duties to allow investigations to be carried out without her interference or any hinderance.
Thankyou people of Zambia for being vigilant.
This will come to nothing.
happy birthday RB and many more happy returns<:-p:d

I know for sure that this administration of Rb has even hated the post more than ever.Because the post has continued to expose people who have long and urgly fingers in government.Thats why as long as the mmd remains in power,radio stations like QFM,Hot fm and muvi Tv will never be given licences to have coverage across the country.The private media is looked at as a threat.But should they try to touch the post,it will be like fighting the Zambian citizens.Am one of those who will say no to intimidation.
Levy caused all these problems. Yamene ma politics youshana kutolo. For fear of having an intelligent veep he went to get a joke from some farm in Chipata. RB has no idea of how to govern the country. I bet he is constantly on the phone to super ken his mentor. What a waste of tax payers money, this tribunal. Just send Dora to jail. Uyu mulandu uli patubatuba.

DORA AS A MINISTER HAS NO POWER OVER THE TRIBUNAL. EVEN THE PRESIDENT CANNOT INTERFERE UNLESS IT IS IN NATIONAL PUBLIC INTEREST. SO THERE IS NO NEED FOR DORA TO RESIGN UNTIL THE TRIBUNAL PROCESS IS OVER. WHY JUDGE SOMEONE BEFORE THE PROCESS?
LET THE POST AND ITS SO CALLED SOURCES NOW PRODUCE EVEIDENCE OF WRONG DOING ON THE PART OF DORA. WHAT MEMBE WAS HOPING IS THAT DORA WOULD FER TRIBUNAL AND JUST NEGOTIATE SOEMTHING BUT ITS GOOD SHE HAS STOOD HER GROUND. CHIBE CHIBE LET THE REAL GAMES BEGIN NOW!!! COME ON GUYS BE MORE ANALYTICAL

#111 et al Mr. Thrift, if you do not know the history of these tribunals, the chief justice can refuse to set up one if he thinks it does not merit the appointing of one because of shaky evidence. In this case Lady Ireen Mambilima has determined that there is justifiable cause to set up one. The judiciary itself has been under fire lately and as such it wants to rescue (not recuse) itself from all the flak it has received. Kwasala Kabonde, azapika jele manjemanje.
Zed, too much corruption, we need new names in Zambian politics, fed up with the old people, remember new brooms sweep all the corners!
Zed, too much corruption, we need new names in Zambian politics, fed up with the old people, remember new brooms sweep all the corners!
FOR THE OUT OUT COME OF THE TRIBUNAL TO BE FAIR MEMEBRS MEMBERS OF THE TRIBUNAL SHOULD NOT BE SELECTIVE. WHAT I KNOW ABOUT ZD POLITICS, BY THE TIME THE TRIBUNAL WILL BE THROUGH, THE TERM OF OFFICE FOR RB WILL BE OVER, 2011.
what has commenting on the matter got to do with the outcome?? Has he already lost confidence in the independence of the forth coming tribunal before it is even sworn in??
From the few claims that she has put across, she may actually be in the clear(if hiring valuators isn’t mandated to tender). If Selex truly have offered to repair the Lusaka Radar for free(being the manufacturers), though they might have been hoping to be considered favourably(after displaying good workmanship), later in the tender. Thus, if this goodwill act is the only act that has been displayed by selex, with no underhand money exchange, Silly Ya, will walk free!!
#120, i thot Sillier already acknowledged that the tender has not been cancelled and who in this world will do repairs for free after the product has been used for sometime? unless she says govt entered into such an agreement before they even installed the radar equipment. I bet what Harrington has presented is very strong evidence such that Mambilima was left with no choice but to act. remember a lot of cases have been quashed as soon as they came but this time Ireen has seen a lot of sense in what Billy is presenting. mind u Billy was once minister in the same ministry Sillier is working.
We are talking about integrity here meaning Dora should step aside and people will give her respect. We are not jealous but demand issues to be addressed in a normal way. RB is right to okey the probe must do more than that. Remember Shakas and the parley house saga? No discipine was passed but I feel this the time for the correction to be done. We will support enhancement of discipline in our land.
RB looks like a …………… A :d:-l/:)**==
Hope te circus! Miyanda spoke sense and he knew what he was talking about in regard to the DORA saga! Abantu aba baonaula calo nokumona tulemonako
First it was Glady’s Nyirongo and now Dora Siliya…these Ladies im mwe!! Dora didnt watch her mate going in honestly…Her bail will be higher than that of Nyirongo since she has the Bole Hole and Zambia Airways cases pending…All i can say is good luck to her in Prison coz thats were she will be applying red lipstick to attract fellow inmates.
Now the VP shud explain the situation legally on how the tribunal will handle the matter. I mean, what wil Dora be doing during that time,instead of warning the public not to pass comments.
Non-legal advice to RB is that he shud go for a mini-cabinet reshuffle if Dora is not found guilty, as she will continue been misled by Zamtel MD.
If found guilty then fire her.Mind you the donor countries are watching us and govt might not get Budget Support this year. Many thanks to following: HE RB,Justice Mambilima,Mr Halllington,Mr M’membe,Mr Nchito,10 Civic Societies,Staff from Zamtel,NAC,Ministry of T & C and the public

# 111…Plz if you have nothing to say plz do not participate on this forum… The Zambian Mines were eveluated by indigineous Firms that costed less..why should we engage foreign firms now? A Parastatal company is not like a grocery store that a wife can decide to sell minus the husbands or Family Members consent. The deputy Auditor general should have waited for the boss to come back to take the appropriate action. Its a shame that Zambians are following Kunda and Siliya Blindly over this issue..
#125 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Her red lipstick will be applied kumatako for personal identification in prison. At there goes ba Dora in the dark chibwakaila.
Dora Siliya was one of the brightest girls at Kabulonga dnring her reign as Headgirl. She is very intelligent apparently. But now ali mundoti

Lets wait and see how far this Tribunal Team will go with the case. I hope sensible people will be selected on the panel so that the truth is known, The only problem is that people are corrupt and right now, we dont even know what the plans are. The brown Envelopes are on their way….. Oh Poor Zambians.

DORA bright? Yes someone might be intelligent but if that person is not wise then he is useless! Education should be put into practice!Remember OBI OKONKWO in No longer at Ease by Chinua Achebe?

12.Loss of revenue collections of about 30-60Kbn per month for the company and the govt.
NB:No single telecommunication company has collapsed in the world todate but Zamtel is nicknamed ‘Sinking Titanic’. The question is not How,Where,What no ,but Why?

#97. greetings. On your “i have been looking for Ingombe Illede ( Maestro HeHeHeHe) but it seems he is preparing for sabaath mailo. ashuka.” Be advised that I do not run away from demon possessed characters of your calibre.
I simply went on a sabbath recession in obedience to the Commandments of my god, the Creator of everything, in light of Exodus 20:8-11 and Genesis 1:5.
Thanks for advertising the tourist attraction and spot Ing’ombe Illede. Zambia may benefit from your input if tourists go there after reading this your comment.

If Dora Siliya was a bemba or from bemba speaking province like northern, luapula, central, copperbelt – what would you have said? Now that she is not bemba, then……. lets wait and see. You are a …..”
When are you going to behave NORMALLY? Zambia is composed of about 71 tribes and you are always looking up to your Bemba-ness! Isn’t former President FTJ Chiluba, whose government forgiveness over his criminal charges I have consistently supported to be done immediately, not a Bemba person? Why are you always thinking about Bembas instead of Zambians of all backgrounds?
This guy is corrupt…..wait your time will come.
President Banda is really a failure. One wonders how far he went in school. How can we have a President who can understand simple issues. Anyway he was in UNIP and UNIP was corrupt, so we can not be surprised. I just wonder how the late LPM chose this empty bucket to be his vice and later to endorsed by the rotten and corrupt MMD as their Presidential candidate. We never hear anything with sense coming out of Idi Bwenzana Amin Adada Banda big mouth. I hope the tractors from Libya are not at his farm. We chipuba we
I mean can not
Kwaba Presdo uwa bipa ifi, infubu ituntulu
you guys dont blame Rupia, you voted for him even when you knew he was corrupt, so wats your problem now? i thought you were enjoying!!!!!
Not all Zambians voted for Banda. Zambia has a population of over 10,000,000 people, and I am sure 6 million of these can vote. Banda did not even get 1,000,000 votes. What does that suggest. Banda and his MMD Govt need to be kicked out of office in 2011. I hope everyone with the right to vote should vote. Us Zambians living abroad should vote as well from our respective places of residence.
