RB appoints Siliya as Education Minister

President Rupiah Banda

President Rupiah Banda has with immediate effect reappointed former Communications and Transport Minister Dora Siliya to cabinet following the High Court Judgment which has cleared her of any wrongdoing.

In a media statement made available to ZANIS by Special Assistant to the President for Press and Public Relations Dickson Jere, Ms Siliya will now serve as Education Minister.

President Banda has since moved the Education Minister Geoffrey Lungwangwa to the Ministry of Communications and Transport.

Yesterday , the Lusaka High Court cleared Ms Siliya of the Dennis Chirwa lead tribunal’s findings which stated that the former minister of Communication had breached the constitution in the manner she handled the RP Capital Partners issue.

High Court Judge Philip Musonda quashed the tribunal’s findings that Ms Siliya breached the constitution when she ignored the Attorney General’s advice over RP capital partners.

Ms. Siliya resigned from her ministerial position after the judgment of the tribunal findings.

Meanwhile, President Banda has constituted a five-Member Cabinet Committee to find a lasting solution to the ongoing financial and technical problems at the state-owned Zambia Telecommunications Corporation (ZAMTEL).

The committee comprises Finance and National Planning Minister Dr Situmbeko Musokotwane, Communications and Transport Minister Geoffrey Lungwangwa as well as the Mines and Mineral Resources Minister Maxwell Mwale.

Others are Minister of Commerce, Trade and Industry Felix Mutati and his Energy and Water Development counterpart Kenneth Konga.

Mr. Banda has further directed all Permanent Secretaries serving under the ministries in the Cabinet Committee to form a technical committee which will serve the Cabinet Committee.

Meanwhile, Lusaka Province Minister Lameck Mangani has called on Zambians to respect the verdict of the court that has cleared former Minister of Communications and Transport Dora Siliya of the tribunal findings that she breached the constitution in the manner she handled the RP Capital Partners issue.

Mr. Mangani says the rule of law should be allowed to prevail as Zambia is a country guided by law as embodied in the republican constitution.[quote]

He said President Rupiah Banda’s administration will continue to subject its management of the country to the constitution.

Mr. Mangani said this is why President Banda did not interfere in the Dora Siliya tribunal investigations adding that President Banda is committed to the fight against corruption in the country

He was speaking when he addressed Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) women cadres at his office in Lusaka today.

Mr. Mangani has further called on Zambians to desist from blaming President Banda for high levels of corruption in government.

He said it is the responsibility of all Zambians to desist from engaging in corruption and to report corrupt elements to law enforcement agents.

And acting MMD Women’s Chairperson Tafura Lubinda said the MMD women were cheered by the verdict of the court that cleared Ms. Siliya.

  1. Congratulations once again Ms MP Dora Siliya on your appointment as Education Minister. Kindly, use the experience you have gained to excel in that Ministry unlike what former Minister there Brig. Gen. G. Miyanda did in the 1990s.

    Otherwise, someone said “speed kills” and so let us wait and see. I hope there are no plans to block Harrington’s possible appeal in this rushed appointment. Very impressive also that many of a Minister’s privileges were still let lingering in Minister Dora Siliya’s control while she had resigned.

    As for the rest of Zambians who are aggrieved, please use normal channels of appeal and desist from insulting for it will not help you, me, and the whole Nation at large.

  2. Woow only in ZAMBIA do such things happen! Am surprised how a high court Judge can overrule a supreme court judge. And its been barely 24 hours since she was “cleared” of the allegation and the president appoints her as minister?!, its like he was waiting for the judgement (which he already knew the outcome to) to be announced) Rupiah is playing a deadly game. He shouldn’t think Zambia belongs to him!

  3. Zambians are stuck with the MMD and president Banda till eternity. The next elections will be rigged so forget about voting for another president.
    Dora, Mulongoti, Tetamashimba, etc. will continue to enjoy the people’s resources. Even if you catch them with corruption, the Judicial system will declare them innocent and clear them.
    All those who are currently in court eg. Chiluba will continue wasting time till their cases die a natural death.
    In the meantime, the rest of us can continue wallowing in poverty and brace ourselves for further lack of development!
    The only hope is to get down on our knees and pray harder than ever before… there is no other source hope for us!

  4. This man has no shame! The least he could have done is at least wait until he saw which way the appeals, if any were going to go! But , no jhe couldn’t wait! He has not even given HIS reaction to the Tribunal’s findings yet!! I suppose since he knew the decision was his to make, he just didn’t even bother to read the Tribunal’s findings; which then makes him a liar by telling the nation that he was “studying” the report!! Is thee any doubt in anyone’s mind that there is no credible leadership in Zambia with this man at the helm? Attorney-General Malila, please resign if you are to retain any semblance of integrity at all!

  5. why put small minds in the education sector,no wonder the standard of education pa zed is pathetic,cause knowledgeless souls misguide us,a terrible people who suffer from a scientific and a mathematic phobia,God help us

  6. Doctors, nurses and teachers will continue striking time and again. Prepare for the mass funerals.
    The media will continue being harrassed, so buy protective wear.
    The kwacha will continue to be unstable or devalue, so prepare for a high cost of living.
    ZESCO will continue giving one silly excuse after another, be it weeds, faults, or my foot!
    Rupiah will continue globetrotting!
    MPs will continue to get their K480 million gratuity.
    It will be business as usual in Zambia for a very very long time.

  7. #4 don’t be dull a supreme court judge is only a supreme court judge if presiding over the supreme court. Goodness you ba nwgele on here are very dull

  8. Well, the man did warn you when he said “Bafuna kumipoka ichi chintu”!!! Eastern power rules!! There has to be honour, even among thieves!! And there is no honour in what this man is doing!!

  9. She may be corrupt but at least i somehwat trust the leadership that has been put to spearhead this all so important ministry, she has brains and i believe will take us in the right diresction, as for her tribunal proceedings..no comment

  10. Am beginning to understand the low brow viseral hatred for Dora Siliya now. I don’t think this woman can ever do right is most of your eyes . This is like a modern day witchhunt with a mob that doesn’t want to hear anything redeeming about her, dare I say it’s projection of insecurity.

  11. This is a lame duck president. Hasn’t he got enough men and women to appoint or does he know something we don’t?

  12. You should take her to the Ministry of health so that she can take care of that knee problem better!!!

  13. What a serious anomalous lack of leadership qualities indeed. Please, president HH as leader of the PF-UPND PACT, release data on this one.

    Such is why I have decided to give lectures on here LT to help Zambia to start developing, but it appears that some are still in the 20th Century way of doing things. At this junction, it is imperative for me to write what one said, “you can take a man from a village but you can not take the village out of him“.

    Lovely stuff, marvellous and revealing indeed. I will coninue watching the political game as events unfold in Zambia in the move towards and into 2011 elections.

    Surely, voters need to do me honours in 2011 by electing someone best for the Presidency job.

  15. Kwena mwandi this is lack of seriousness with our leader, if I had the powers I would have cursed the pipo who gave him the votes( worse the ones who nominated him) with rabies. There’s truely nothing which impresses me about this man, he is not presidential material and I think pipo from other countries laugh at us as to how we can vote this kind of person to plot 1. He does’nt even normal!

  16. some one tell me this is a joke cos m not laughing at a single bit m hearing,Wats with the bwezani administration apointing anyhow,its lyk telling a calculus lecturer to start teaching bemba

  17. What is it which makes Dora Siliya as the most valuable cabinet minister? RB the President can’t do without the lady who has simply survived on technical points which were even missed by two Supreme Court Judges and a Judge. The terms of referrence were delibarately limited to serve Dora. Otherwise it was very surprising that she survived the Katete Council money scandel in which she could even state in evidence that she was too busy to get receipts for money involving millions of Kwacha. Goodluck Dora, but good times do come to an end. Remember Richard Sakala.

  18. RB, you have had my support up to now. But now I think you are making a mockery of Zambians. Please, Zambia needs seriousness. You ask pipo to give you a chance to put yo act together. And this is what you have to offer. Sad. No wonder I make a bold decision and took up citizenship in countries that take their pipo serious. Please RB, you are entrusted with running a country, show seriousness. EEyee.

  19. Let’s just wait and see how she performs her new task. If she makes another fatal mistake, she’ll be fired again. Where the problem at?

    Me, myself, I just wish her all the best, me.

  20. If Minister Dora Siliya was any serious about resigning from the President RB Banda, let her turn down the offer of Minister appointment.

    This is a real good test of her morality. I am waiting and watching curiously to know who is serious in life.

  22. 28 Mbo Sam greetings. On your “What is it which makes Dora Siliya as the most valuable cabinet minister?

    Ms MP Minister Dora Siliya is a woman and SADC indicates that Cabinets in our countries must have about 30 or so % women representation in Senior GRZ position.

  23. 28 Mbo Sam.Continuing on “What is it which makes Dora Siliya as the most valuable cabinet minister? “, Ms MP Minister Dora Siliya is a woman from the Eastern Province of Zambia where President RB Banda comes from.

    There might be other reasons I have not mentioned, but these are enough in my opinion.

    Have a blessed day.

  24. people…desist from mindless hating nichani…for what its worth dora’s very smart and stoic…Its the nchitos that should be on fire!

  25. We got a big problem. People must get away from the thinking that they can only do one kind of job. If Dora Siliya expects respect and admiration from Zambians, she must turn down the appointment. If she is principled and cares less about government jobs, she must join the private sector or venture into a business of her own. As it is right now, she is not in control of her destiny. The president has now become her rescuer, what a shame.

  26. The woman is replacing someone who is so conversant with matters to do with education in Zambia. Anyway,she has been promoted to the level of her incomptence. Just wait and see!

  27. This woman resigned from cabinet. What does she possess that other Zambians don’t? This is taking the all nation for granted. I think we have no people who think in Zambia. RB is up to something. Next appointment will be Richard Sakala. What a sad day for the nation that used to be Zambia. You see, sometimes when the untold or sad things like blood coups take place in Africa, it is because of the anger and frustration that is caused by these pin head presidents. I am angered by all this nonsense. Zambians are really docile like those black and white cows were you get your milk. When will you Zambians wake up and stand up for the truth?

  28. What will happen in an event that the supreme Court overturns this ruling? RB should have waited unless he is short of capable leaders

  29. I have argue for a long time that education in Zambia is a joke. No wonder our universities rank in the 3, 000’s. It is a shame to claim that UNZA is a university by any standard. Unfortunately, those who have never been elsewhere apart from UNZA, CBU, ZOU, do not see that our institutions are so backward. The Siliya saga is a classic case of what is wrong with African countries, why they still wallow in poverty and why they will never get out: we know what we need to do in order to improve our education and economy but choose what does not work: one of these days someone should find out why this is so. What do you expect from lowly educated persons like Rupiah Banda anyway? For those thinking otherwise, let me say a bachelors degree is really nothing much to talk about.

  30. Dora was my classmate at “YUNZA” I doubt her credibilty to run the ministry of education…they should have left it the prof….it is not for simple minds like Dora

  31. The problem with this so called minister is that she does not look decent. Lipstick, nails, the head and everything is wrong about her. She is not presentable. Why not copy from friends like the Silvier. Dont liik so pompus !
    What is the problem with this journalist Kanshi??

  32. #40,ur spot on.this is so embarrassing and annoying at the same time.when will people open their eyes to the truth.Whatever happened to integrity,decency and justice.i’m disgusted to the bone.

  33. I may not be a lawyer but I thought the Supreme Court Judge may not be overturned by the High Court Judge…please educate me…..this law sucks !!

  34. Zambia needs to be depoliticized so that she can conquer the pressing case of poverty, disorder, infrastructure mal-development and under-maintenance. Slowly but surely, 60% of our news now & in the next few months as we move towards polls will be of development. In governance we should be pleased with the firmness, decisiveness, fairness & the just manner seen lately. The refusal of GRZ to be manipulated & be governed by cartels that never campaigned for this privilege is encouraging. To prevent criminal elements from governing by insults, manipulation & blackmail guarantees a successful state. A nation will never develop until its people are willing to prioritize developmental & not political issues. Many years to come perhaps, we will see an opposition that operates in this manner.

  35. #44 Ciao, there is nothing wrong about her, but you know how Tasintas are. RB is having a second wife and no one is bold enough to mention it. Why do you think his legal wife always look depressed? Zambia now is a family corporation owned and run by the Bandas.

  36. 43 Kapoko greetings and nice testimony on your “TDora was my classmate at “YUNZA” I doubt her credibilty to run the ministry of education…they should have left it the prof….it is not for simple minds like Dora“. However, she will be working in a TEAM, a the Undereducate PF leader MC Sata does not seem work in, and will probably do well with her past experiences should she sadly accept the appointment.

    Let us all thus wait for the results inside of operating as if we are prophets of doom.

    42 Mark greetings and on “What do you expect from lowly educated persons like Rupiah Banda anyway? … let me say a bachelors degree is really nothing much to talk about.“, let us acknoledge reality that RBB has an MA in Economics History…

  37. Keep on puddling the BWATO ba JANZA MBELE. Puddle fast for time is not with us we need to ABUKA. HH summon those serious KUOMBOKA Puddlers to get us through these rough waves of confusion created by this MMD before the wind consumes us. Invite your brothers from LIKUMBI LYA MIZE to creat WATCH TOWERS on those long poles they walk on to make sure the BWATO flows smoothly. TWENDE BANE time is now. UNOMUKU TULEYABUKA NABA SHUKULU BA SATA. Viva HH/MCS

  38. #45, Zedchick101, I am sad to an extent I ready to throw up. Zambia is gone. The only thing that is needed is a revolution. Every generation needs a revolution. How on earth could this be happening? At least this imbecile should have waited until after Zambia beat Algeria and we are in a celebratory mood. Who advises these pin heads? Fellow pin heads?

  39. siliya education minister,i dont have an idea of how effective our ministres are but the name dora siliya dosent sound rite

  40. 51 continued. … on “What do you expect from lowly educated persons like Rupiah Banda anyway? … let me say a bachelors degree is really nothing much to talk about.“, let us acknoledge reality that RBB has an MA in Economics History. The only short coming President RB Banda has is that he has no plan as of now for mother Zambia. As if that is not enough, my President is very very old. I just hope we as Zambians will not be paying for his medical bills in large amounts for the rest of his Presidency of Zambia.

    Have a great day and let us desist from insulting any one who is our fellow creation of God.

  41. Now we see what Fr Bwalya saw. He was right and will be remembered for speaking out. Otherwise Radio Chengele will be doomed forever for removing such a noble and straight forward guy.

  42. Maestro, education compliments nobility. One can have all the education but lack wisdom and good judgment. RB is a good example. The other one is Aka, and they are several.

  43. This is the reality people, our nation is a circus
    – If you are in the diaspora send lots of money back to your families in Zambia because most likely they dont have jobs
    – Send medicines or they will die taking the counterfeits from China and Nigeria
    – send candles and matches to see them through the load shedding

  44. Zambians, keep on puddling time is now. KWABUKA FYE e solution. JANZA MBELE lets puddle on. UNOMUKU SURE KWABUKA AYISHA.

  45. Kalos2020,my heart seriously bleeds.ur ryt i feel like throwing up too.I don’t get it mwandi.Country gone to the dumpsters.RB is the biggest gonga in Zed political history.I cant wait for the day when he’ll take his one way ticket to Chipata en disappear for good.God help us.

  46. Dora failed to run her previous ministry; what makes Nyama Soya think she can run the Ministry of Education beats me. Additionally, she also failed to run her own marriage! Let her fail at Education so that Nyama will have no further excuses of keeping her afloat! Seriously the MMD has no men and women of substance besides Dora, Namugala, Teta, Kaande etc?

  47. All that Zambia needs is a leader who understands that time we are living in – 21st Century, where things must be done in the most rational way to avoid wasting resources which include time. At the moment there is none other than the mighty UPND TEAM’s president HH – since he is educated, has money and a large clout including his new cadre the PF selfappointed leader Undereducate Sata MC.

    Good moves by President RB Banda to make many lose confidence in him following his clear inability to lead Zambia in the right socio-economic development path.

    Therefore, 2011 elections are our hope for now as Zambians. Let us support the MMD to collapse.

    Have a great day and let us desist from insulting any one who is our fellow creation of God.

  48. Dear Bitter and invidious sexists, xenophobes and hate crusading conspirators:

    Justice is not only justice if you succeed in your Pull Her Down schemes. Justice is justice also when the victim prevails. By thinking otherwise and insulting Justice Musonda vainly, you are registering self-demeaning ignorance by failure to show knowledge of administrative tribunal and judicial courts of jurisprudence.

    Be advised that a tribunal is not a court. In common law, there are many case studies you can go through to learn that tribunals are for recommendation not adjudication.

    Like the opinion of those on jury duty in the USA justice system, tribunals too take legal interpretation and reversed judgment from the justice courts. Read cases in the compilations of Cohen, Danelski and Yalof.Do a…

  49. Kashi Dora anapasa ya bwanji ba namasoya,? kapena niyakumbuyo. what the F**k is going on pa Zambia, is she the only person alive, kwena yake inzuna…?

  50. .60 Kalos2020 greetings. On your “Maestro, education compliments nobility“, do you actually mean COMPLEMENTS?

    As for”One can have all the education but lack wisdom and good judgment. RB is a good example. The other one is Aka, and they are several.“, well this may be true but Zambians need someone with both EDUACTION AND WISDOM. Checkout 66 Nyama Soya Junior‘s “Additionally, she also failed to run her own marriage” and inform me about the Undereducate’s alleged extra marital affairs and about 3 wives or some have been damped. Is such what you call WISDOM?

    Let us be fair in our analysis as we seek a better Zed.

    Have a great day and let us desist from insulting any one who is our fellow creation of God.

  51. For all those people who come on here saying all sorts. Becareful, the people who you think are in opposition are actually MMD. Some are ones you respect and fear the most. They come in all forms. Some will claim to be staunch UPND but advice you to keep quiet, some are staunch PF but are here as shushushu. You have been warned. Dora was appointed minister a week ago and some people on here knew. 3 is out and bye bye!

  52. Maestro I told you Dora was going to land a big one yesterday. I knew about this a week ago. Naya. Take care now.

  53. 68 Senior Citizen greetings and welcome.

    71 3RqU greetings and thanks. On “Maestro what did I say yesterday? I told you it was going to happen. I knew about this seven days ago.“, impressive but which thread and number exactly so I can check again.

    Otherwise, this President RB Banda move was expected but not this fast. The speed has scared me terribly as someone said patience pays, but here it is seriously lacking.

  55. Mwanya, munaniyamba mweka! I had peacefully retired to my village when you came and woke me up in the middle of the night. I will make sure by the time I leave state house there is nothing to find except empty coffers and a messed up economy. And don’t even think of arresting us: We’ll be comfortably re-settled in our real home: Zimbabwe and nobody will touch us there! I’ll leave you loud mouth Teta, sleepy Shikapwasha and imbecile Mulongoti for you to arrest since they have no clue. I’m now working on fixing your stupid Post and Meembe for good and my plan will be complete. I’ll have the satisfaction of seeing some of them take their last ride in the Teta Hearses. Who is laughing now, huh?

  56. I’m off to New York next week and when I come back, I’ll come and sort out some more of you; you know yourselves. You think you can challenge me for president? Because Prof. Chirwa is my tribesman, I’ve already bribed him to just shut up. Dr. Miti, don’t worry; I’ll take care of you when I return.

  57. Sister Honorable Dora Siliya:

    Ignore sole losers. You are a modern Zambian lady who has worked hard to make a difference. The laws of Zambia have seen in you leadership, sincerity, selflessness and courage. In your face with calm and patience, good and the rule of law have prevailed against hate crusaders. Get back to work and serve Zambians selflessly and distinctively across the aisle.

  58. Maestro post 225 posted at 8:58 PM I think. “High Court clears Siliya”. Naya brother. Keep well. I knew about this seven days ago. The thing is how can Dora be cleared by the high and suddenly be appointed minister within no time? Do you smell a rat? 3 is gone.

  59. Good and justice have prevailed over evil.

    The winner is Zambia’s nascent democracy which by this magnanimous legal value has been redeemed from the snare of restless manipulative hate crusading conspirators William Harrington has unwittingly and vainly enlisted himself in. Democracy and the rule of law have become mutually functional, exceptional and beyond agenda tabloid manipulation.

    If a nation forfeits herself to hate mongers, sexists, and xenophobic tabloids instead of aprioristic material evidence on which jurisprudence reasoning ought be based on, such a nation becomes anarchic.

    Zambia has deafeningly said abash hate crusaders, abash anachronistic tabloids, abash manipulated hateful blogging.

    Cursed is the day the hatred married to sabotage Zambia Christian values…

  60. I am a journalist at home and communication with other sources suggests ther’s a steamy relationship between RB and Dora..Watch this space as out goes Thandi and in comes Dora

  61. Bloggers do not btrust people you meet on here. Ther are people who are going to pretend to say crap about RB yet they are OP. 3!

  62. Very soon bloggers will start hiding from their own shadows ati shushushu. Anyone with any common sense would have seen tha Dora would win and be reinstated I said this literally the first time dora was accused I guess i am shushushu. The intelligence level of some of you is laughable .I am enjoying reading senior citizens blogs because he has put it in the best way. I like the quote “Cursed is the day the hatred married to sabotage Zambia Christian values…” ….classic

  63. Can’t wait for that dual nationality to go through so that I can come haome and become Zambia’s minister without prtfolio. Seems like sucking up to the boss is the way to go in Zed..

  64. Mr. RB, we all know wherre we came from. But we don’t look back to see what IT looks like!!

  65. #88 reminds me of the name of a certain gentleman who insisted on being called Mr. Ambassador and not his God given name. I wondered how he reverted to his name after being recalled from foreign service! Total recall! Welcome to Zambia!

  66. 3RqU what are you on about? Are you losing your marbles? Who cares if shushushus are “tuned in” or not? Like Woman of substance says: OP if you are on this blog, kiss my Zambian derriere!

  67. It seems like some people enjoy terrorising others.can we all blog in peace en just air our views.ifya kutinyana tefyo.it’s not mandatory that we should all agree,that’s why its a damn blog.hello??

  68. 82 3RqU, your right on 225 for it indicates “ #208 Maestro Afriicans never resign. Dora only did it because she was promised she will bounce back. Do not hold your breath, but, she will be minister of fimo fimo very soon.

    As for the shushushu issue on you posted and your number 85, just relax and take careful care. There is no need to panic if you have not done any wrong — especially defaming the President RB Banda through insults. The courts of law are there for justice to prevail for you as you have seen for MS MP Dora. In fact, the shushushus are here on LT and elsewhere to protect you.

    If they fail to protect you, don’t worry yourself as God our creator is there always fro you and me. Even in jail, we can be used mightily by our God.

    Be…

  69. #90, you seem to be very intelligent in your own world. But your level of shallowness is the one that is laughable. Who tells you that a supreme court judge is only one when presiding in the supreme court. Are you trying to tell me that there is a possibility that a magistrate can preside over a supreme court case and be called a supreme court judge in that window of time? Don’t talk about things like you are a party cadre who just sings at the sight of chibuku! You seem to be in support of Dora and i respect your freedom of choice, But maybe you should understand whats going on here, people commenting here have information that you probably will never know about. So don’t just comment blindly my dear. Anyways i will rest my case here.

  70. Allow me to speak for myself. I gave my “all” to the president and the government of Zambia – the judiciary included. I have earned my right to be in the position I am in and I am sure that with further “giving” of myself, I will be the next 1st lady. Thandiwe, make way. So bloggers; you may mourn and winge all you like but my status won’t change. I am here to stay and I am here for the long haul! Deal with it 🙂

  71. Just F_ _KING A!!!!!!!!!!!Dictator at work!are you suprised?watch for dissappearances now!O.P are out to get any dissent clamped upon!no Opposition in Zed for the next ten years and you thought K.K was bad you ain’t seen nothing yet,This is Zimbabwean you think he gives a F about Zambia?you people are so dumb!we are in for the ride,brace yourselves,tighten your belts,hide your money,thicken your skins…..

  72. Dora, ulemupela yonse RB waumfwa? Believe me people, next trip out of the country for RB will involve Dora for knee “Tasks”, congrats!

  73. Dont get me wrong,but in RB’s mind i think this unecessary appointment is meant to highlight the following small issue:- RB 1 : Post 0

  74. All RB needs a naked woman! naked woman time three with a big box and boobs…son of a b!tch…shushushus say what you have to say imwe bama kaka!

  75. Let me go to sleep Zambia will never prosper as long as we allow greed and corrupt pipo to rule the nation.How can a nation have blackouts for three days sure,to make matters worse it was even on Sabc Radio news.

  76. REVOLUTION 2011. Ni kasumba kake lamba tulinganee nabalile. HH/SATA ikataneni nga mabanshi as we pass through these rough waves. Musankwa HH, Tata Sata look at Zambians, they are like sheep without a sheperd. They are looking up to you for freedom. Indalama shacholo shonse shalobela kumaule. Ba kateka ati balwele ikufi lelo taba tweba uko ubulwele bwafuma. HH/SATA paddle fast so we reach the end line while RB is busy with Dora. ALA UNO MUKUKU TULEABUKA fye bwino coz Musankwa HH will mark VJ.

  77. You can twinge and cry and rub yourselves in mud. You can insult, spread conspiracy theories, hate monger and witch hunt but unless you have counter evidence, Dora Siliya is innocent.

    Dora Siliya has got good academic credentials. Educational Qualifications: Grade 12, BA Mass Communication, Pphil. (DEvelopment Economics)

    Dora Siliya has also got experience in govt issues as well as good diplomatic skills. These are better credentials than the ones the architects of the PF-UPND-dead-pact have. Where it is not clear whether one graduated from secondary school and the other is an arrogant, political lightweight, kwacha billionaire, Sata errand boy who thinks he can make in impact by insulting the head of state.

  78. May this man Rupiah was right after all! Dora is smarter than everyone else! She is DEFINITELY SMARTER THAN HIM!! She resigned and almost immediately re-worked her way back in his government. That is smart!!

  79. Congratulations to Dora Silitya for being given this post.

    Don’t let the hate mongering, conspiracy theorist, fredist-post-worshipers, low self esteem, arrogant, know-it-all, arm chair critics bring you down.

    Some of them don’t even know the first thing on how govt is run and they spread lies but when asked for proof, they have nothing.

    The hateful people will always hate. Just do a good job Dora for they say the best form of revenge is success.

    You have been successful in the appeal and you shall be successful in your new post.

  80. Chi mudala ichi, if it was in football, these are the guys who were always sending the ball back to start the formular even when you are about to score. Chilebwesha bolla kunuma. Every step we make, he sends the ball at the back.

  81. Im seriously beginning to consider changing my citizienship. Zambia seems like a lost cause. Why Dora of all the options that RB has. She failed to resolve the situation with with Zamtel ans the Ministry of Communication and jsut left a mess and a judicial process that cost the tax payers a lot of money. And now she is given such critical ministry? It is as if RB owes her so so much. Defies all logic!!!

  82. guys… lets just forget about zed and continue mu disspora where things make sense… the commons speaker resigned after the expense scandal.. nomba bamukukulu pa zed sure cant they copy these good moral practices.. aba sungu enaf respect! I think RB tekufi alwele- ni brain damage… kanshi na Kapoko bamuchite fye clear– as K.K would say, Stupid *****s! am very annoyed!

  83. That ignorant thing staying in the state house illegally really disgusts me. Whats so special about this corrupt thing call Dora. So now communication is now education.

  84. Iwee ci Dora Siliya kanshi mulala na ci Banda nangu ninshi? You disgust me, No wonder Chisha Folotiya left you. By the way nawina elo naubipa.

  85. iyee ichalo twashila ba kolwe ubusuma, people in DIASPORA lets put our heads together. tukansanga fyonse bapwa ukonaula.

  86. How long are we going to be subjected to such pain and ridicule, please zambians wake up ichalo baonaula. What next, Dr Miti will be apponted minister of health by tomorrow watch this space. I cant put up with this crap any more, this is a perverse government. they must go in 2011, its no coincedence Rb’s wife is that young. Dora is just right for him at his disposal

  87. Congratulations RB. Here is a President who respects the judiciary and rule of law. Now to those who are ‘not surprised’ by the judge’s decision, remember that law is not black and white and law is not ethics and law is not morality.

  88. The Drug Enforcement Commission-DEC-has recorded a warn and caution statement from former Finance Minister, Ngandu Magande, over the operations of the closed Zambian Airways

    BOMA NI BOMA!!

  89. Justice delayed is justice denied, why is miti scott free, where are his assests he declared? I smell a rat here, he wii be reappointed Ps MOH by next week

  90. THIS WHOLE AFFAIR WAS POLITICAL. WHERE IS HARRINGTON GETTING THE MONEY TO CONTINUE PAYING LAWYERS AND APPEALING?? WHY NOT SPEND MONEY TO CATCH THE REAL THEIVES WHO STOLE MONEY FROM NATIONAL AIRPORTS??

  91. it just disgusting to see how things are being run. But what can we do other than exchanging mails bout our displeasures…………………………………………

    Am just urging follow bloggers that as we chat please insults will not help there are alot of pipo who read these correspondences and dont find pleasure in associating ourselves with that kind of dialogue

  92. Ba Bwezani, just tell us if you’re interested in Sister Dora. We’ve seen this before with Ba Chilu, taking a new wife. It’s not rocket science that you tried your level best to personally take a hand in this. Well, OK so Judge Chirwa and others don’t understand the law, the Attorney General was at fault. If these people misinterpreted the law and misled Zambians, plundered the money with this so-called tribunal, please save your skins by stepping down or Ba Bwezani take a cane and fire these incompetent taxpayers’ plunderers. How many innocent people or guilty people have you sent to prison or freed?
    In an event that the appeals court finds her guilty what will happen then Bwana President? Ala Nafuluka Ba Levy, because this is gross failure to say the least. MHSRIP

  93. this banda chap is abusing his prelogative. siliya resigned after some allegation of abuse of office. banda should not have accommodated her in his cabinet. zambia has a poolof qualified people with impecable repitations from which banda should have picked a candidate for cabinet minister. little wonder why we never develop as a country; we use the same old, tried-and-failed people with the same non-working ideas and some how expect a different result. it doesnt work that way.

  94. I can imagine God having a conversation with Jesus about Zambia,
    God: Hallo Yesu, nichani chamene chitikapa pa Zambia?
    Jesus:Aaa pa Zeed kulabakofye Mudala,, kaili ndiye inja country yamene kunachika uyu Levy
    God: You mean chija choinaina
    Jesus: Eye
    God: ButI was told anasiyako munthu wanzelu ku State House
    Jesus: Mudala anasiyako saidoni, RB, elo kuli inkeche imo so ati Dora naichifulungaya bad. chili kwati nifilia umwaiche Danny ayimbile ati amano yayamwitoloshi.
    tafili bwino pa Zeed.
    God: nanga PF nabe HH?
    Jesus: balichita merge but ECZ yaba ko tricky kabili mwashiba fye nabena VJ in the house.
    God: Ba Zambia kuti bakufulunganya, njebako pabena Obama.

  95. “nabala 116 Free market Kantemba or what evr you call your self. You left one qualification perhaps the biggest lying between the legsnot . PhD but PuS, with that qualification even the law is blind.

  96. LT you should not have mixed the good story of the 5 member commitee of Presidents who are running the country. Minister RB neule lyakwa would have been seperate. What kind of education will that thick-namaliketi influency? She never even finished any degree. Zambia twasebana.

  97. when are the Erections in Zambia or Sorry ECZ has not organized Viagra yet…..
    Chapwa pali lelo nalala mailo ni JOB

  98. The govt is devil and very visible, you do not lens in order to see, any human who is supporting the Govt of Zambia, you are systematic committing genocide against those innocent people you are stealing from , do not think that their prayers is not reaching….God. You will be punished like people of Iraq did to Saddam, it’s okay when you are there in authority otherwise after you will be treated like a maggot…..so don’t support those evil people like Chiluba and his friends.
    You will dragged in the public square and everyone will cast a stone you for their revenge.

  99. Fotomona, I do not know about Siliya’s education but then what is a an undergraduate degree? By they way is a PhD a degree?

  100. #145 Ba Mark, let me not undress Dora because nalimyishiba in-and-out. The only CV she has was her ZNBC news cast, of which any Jehova’s witness can do. PhD is not a degree naimwe, you hear tomorrow that RB is DR. Maybe he get honor in Chipolopolo Volunteer Fan. If its in agriculture or hunting is what he is good at. Where is Mpombo to let her these s@$t go on?

  101. Y even arresting kapoko while miti is moving freely. Leave him alone .Just because he is not a big fish.

  102. Fotomona, I was not protecting Dora at all I am one of her critics. However, what I want to prove to Zambians is this thing of saying that she has a “degree” as though an undergraduate is high learning. We must stop saying an undergraduate is very educated and thinking an honorary degree is something to boast about. By the way a PhD is a degree, it is a doctorate degree, it is the highest degree. A bachelors, BA, BSc, etc a masters MA, MPhil etc and PhD, DPhil, DSc are all degrees.

  103. Geez, I have now completely lost all the faith I had in this president, if there was any left! Dora may be legally right, but she has lost all the moral and faith people had in her. How will her surbodinates view and work with her, after all that has happened. The fact that she resigned on her own on moral grounds means she ca never be appointed to any public position too soon.
    It is clear that this president is doing this just to get at The Post, like see wwho is the boss now? That’s a very scary thing coming from a president.
    I’m still a little confused as to why the High Court went on say that she didn’t breach the Constitution when it’s mandate was only to rule whether or not the tribunal erred by ruling on the Constitution breach. Is this really how we are going govern this…

  104. Yaah, Zambia ! Mediocity in all areas, bola, politics and economy. Rupiah is intellectually awashed. He has the right to appoint and the opposite, but this stinks of a re l….ship, …………………. .Let us strengthen the electoral commission and straighten those disagreements that arise, now is the time for someone shall go ku buko with sh****t. “Munshebwa aile namafi kubuko.”

  105. “Plastic courts of law”,the judiciary was sacred as far as people were concerned but for now, I would think thrice before gathering confidence and trust in a Zambian Court of Law. It has become irrelevant. To gey excellent treatment the elite bastards trek to RSA, maybe we should start taking court cases there also or to Judge Smith who did all the work for Zambian Judiciary and they are still on it, a failed state indeed.

  106. Leadership in Zambia stinks. Why can’t we have a coup before 2011 elections. Someone needs to punish and burn the MMD leadership.

  107. When the Chirwa tribunal ruled that Dora breached the constitution, someone on this blog wrote: Post/Mmembe 1, RB 0. I hope the same person will be fair enough to reverse the writings following the ruling of judge Musonda. RB 1, Post/Mmembe 0.

  108. #144- nkani yamu ka chasu! Honorary doctorate for that mate! A-rated! in the midst of anger, its nice to laugh… viva satire!

  109. RB has eaten something from Dora. She is even controlling him. She is the second lady. Bonse pa Zed twalipena no one is normal because we are letting the nosense to happen in this country? Oh God help us.

  110. Is this what RB meant by studying Dora’s report? Zambians can no longer sustain this rot in the name of peace.

  111. Zoona ubu ebu kamushi. Wemuntu wachita resign on moral grounds 2de u gladly accept appointment as education minister… Greed. Hope u won’t hire dubious companies uko ku education. Tribunal report tabalasova ati futi minista…atase. Bushe amatalibans e bateka?

  112. Ba Ben Kangwa, ala muli chipuba. We have never seen such a terrible being. We are tired of your silly misguided and a*s licking short like your height blogs. You can call yourself all names you want here, We know why they sent you to the US. To come and silent intelligent minds like you see on this blog. Mwaba ka State House akashakwata website or e-mail facilities. Your friend, that fake born again who was at Times of Zambia, is doing the same from South Africa. You think we don’t know you. Tukamonana very soon. Ala mukala inyela wila fye.

  113. Deja Vu spot on. She was still being paid as a minister. How did you know that? Bonse muletinya nomba. Ku Zambia mubutafye!

  114. Is this RB guy paying back for the business she gave his son? I hear the corruption you talk about is RB’s children’s bread and butter. Now we have two people to castrate in Southern Africa. Mugabe and RB.

  115. Good morning dear bloggers,
    Why is it that this DOG on LT called “Slumdog Shalapungu” is always barking at fellow bloggers instead of just contributing to the contrary. No wonder it is a DOG, as you don’t expect much from a dog anyway.
    Good day to you all.

  116. uMUGAZZibo reserves his comment. This is more than i can stomach ……. God bless Zambia for change is coming.

  117. This is stupid how can you appoint someone immediately after the courts “clears” her, RB if you wanted people to atleast think you did a transparent job you could have waited. I am not the right person to judge both of you (RB & DS) God will. and for you RB your days are numbered.,

  118. Remember the pictures the post showed us two weeks ago!

    It explains every thing about what we saw. Tandi wake up they went into the ROOM and had private chart. SHE WAS DEFINATELY ASSURED.

  119. WHAT IAM TELLING YOU IS THAT THE POST AND MMEMBE AND HIS GANG OF CRIMINALS CAN NOT DICTATE THE GOVERNANCE OF ZAMBIA…I AM DEPLOYING MY POLITICAL AND LEGAL FULL FORCE INCLUDING FRIENDLY JUDGES, ZAMBIA ARMY SPECIAL FORCES, SHUSHUSHUS, ZRA, ET AL TO TEACH THIS GROUP OF JUDAS ESCARIOTS A GOOD LESSON AND I STILL HAVE TWO FULL YEARS TO DO IT…..NEXT IS HH AND HIS CORRUPTLY OBTAINED WEALTH…MU ZACHIONA BA NGWELE. MEANWHILE ALL YOU SICK BLOGGERS YOU CAN JOIN SATA/HH BAND WAGON……VJ WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. YOU WANT HARD BALL …YOU WILL GET IT… AM A BATTLE TESTED NGONI BOY IF YOU WERE NOT AWARE….IF YOU THINK I AM JOKING JUST WAIT AND SEE WHAT I WILL DO TO THIS BEMBA BOY CALLED KAPOKO…… THE BOY WILL WISH HE WAS NEVER BORN.WELLCOME TO ZED HOME OF REAL AFRICAN POLITIKS.

  120. This is the straw that broke the camels back.When RB addressed us in Pretoria, i began to respect him and even to like him, but this! awe sure, no respect, no love lost and he and siliya will rot in hell come 2011. This time am coming back to vote come rain come sunshine, we as citizens have laid on our backs for too long and we are now being raped!

  121. As i stated yesterday this has been a calculated move which was stage managed to fool people who can not think.Even the tribunal was just told what and when to do the circus.The high court judge bacause of been corrupt accepted to be used.Last year i even stated that the only way forward was the combination of the super crook cobra who has been there before teaming up with Harrington and the up-starter HH otherwise forget about your suffering relatives in Zed.

  122. # 180 why should you assume that they are sleeping together, maybe dora is a valuable minister, maybe she works hard, is a goal getter and is loyal. do not assume that women can only get high position because of ukuchita, that is wrong.

  123. Plain for everyone to see, the only surprising thing is the appointment being done less than 24 hours from the time of court ruling. There seems to be a lot going on that most bloggers world over do not know. Perhaps BLOGs have come for some people to vent their anger. Be careful though!!

  124. Being my last time to be on this LT i therefore declare that my childrens’ education can never be handled by Dora and i finally decide to throw my first degree i got from UNZA.I think i can use my others degrees Even if Dora has been at UNZA and could pass but i think we needed better brains.Now i see why even Mumba,pastor managed to go that far.God bless Zedians for accepting to be duped.Amen

  125. It is all being done according to their will. All of it clearly but not meticulously……..Time will tell, time alone will tell.

  126. Yes we’ve heard and we know that RB climbs Dora and that’s why she controls him like a robot which has no brain to think, SHAME ba Banda.

  127. We have empty tins (vibekete) in Government.What will the world think of us,Bwezani?.You have removed windfall tax from the mines,meaning less money to the government,and now,Kapoko and his friends steal over 60 Billion kwacha,the Donors have withdrawn support,and to add salt to the wound,you re-appoint a corrupt Dora Siliya back in office?.Is your head okey Bwezani?,Do you want us to die coz of luck of care at Hospitals?.For sure,I know,the ‘Hand of God’ will strike heavily on you and your government.I command ‘Fire’ on these thieves.

  128. #167 You remind me- RB has not told us what he read in that report and am sure he will never do it. GOD SAVE AFRICA

  129. I THINK DORA IS AN ANGEL: See verbatim below;

    TWIN 1: MOM, I THINK OUR DORA IS AN ANGEL!

    TANDIWE: WHY HONEY?

    TWIN 2: SHE WAS NAKED IN YOUR BEDROOM SCREAMING, “OOH GOD I’M
    COMING”.
    LUCKILY DAD WAS HOLDING HER FROM BEHIND, THOUGH HE COMPLAINED OF KNEE PAIN AFTERWARDS.

  130. We thought RB was surppose to study the report first, like he did on the first one??? why the rush to appoint??

  131. #194. You forgot 2 items ….. you pay 150 +++ MPs K480m each as gratuity (equivalent to K72 trillion) , increase your salary from K8m to K35m. Where are we going?

  132. The President is still studying the findings of the tribunal and then he will make comments. These are words that came out of that man with a very big NOSE Shikapwasha. Is this the commet we were waiting for? Pipo of Zed, what does the future look like for ourselves?

    Any way Congrats my fellow lady. What do you use Dfor you to keep ng through those crocodile Harrington’s JAWS. Is it the WOMAN NATURE at play. SUKUMA and KWASAKWASA alos? UMUSANA power and the snack in between the mabelo

  133. This was foreseen way back it is actually possible that even when Dora resigned she was never removed from the Cabinet payroll. Come 2011 Abash all these thieves.

  134. This RB is nonses . Pls cant there be another Captain Solo to kick his bats out of state house. I can surely be behind him. RB has no brains his brain is in the Knees. Its time to wash these guys out.

  135. Good morning dear bloggers,
    Why is it that this DOG on LT called “Slumdog Shalapungu” is always barking at fellow bloggers instead of just contributing to the contrary. No wonder it is a DOG, IMBWA, BAKABWA etc, as you don’t expect much from a dog anyway.
    Good day to you all.

  136. #175 Zedi, you seem to have joined king as well. What contibution have you made in your #175 complaint? Just barking back at the other dog.

    As for RBB, please finish this term left by LPM and consider retiring before we go to polls in 2011.onot listen Teta and Mulongoti, these may just be traitors. So be very careful. Be humble and do things correctly, let your children not put you in jorpady

  137. wow within 24hrs after being cleared she has been re-appointed.?????? its like it was being awaited . not shocking with RB

  138. #175 Zedi, you seem to have joined the barking as well. What +ve contribution have you made in your #175 complaint? Just barking back at the other dog.

    As for RBB, please finish this term left by LPM and consider retiring before we go to polls in 2011.Donot listen Teta and Mulongoti, these may just be traitors. So be very careful. Be humble and do things correctly, let your children not put you in jorpady. We want Katele Kalumba in MMD for Presidency

  139. RB dont take Dora as you second wife this is Lusaka state house Its not like your Farm in Eastern Province Your guards bakakwafwa

  140. History will judge r.b very wrong!, its common sense. RB is having a relationship with dora
    Lets wait & see.

  141. If Thandiwe has got even a pea sized brain, she should watch ci Dora. Ba RB gravitates towards such age and am sure there is something between the two. How can one explain the closeness and insensitivity towards the masses that have condemned his minister. Thats why that leg will not heal, those two ladies(Thandi and Dora) you entertain RB pilishii are in their prime you wont celebrate 80th birthday ngati ucita masobela.

  142. Just thew fellow bloggers had anticipated, I wonder what kind of justice we have in Zambia. The witness were threaten and others bribed but stil Bwezani,s girlfriend got away with it. Damn!

  143. I personally Blame the MMD ,All members are dull an mad , all the wise are gone .How does MMd NEC endorse such a chap they are really Mad Secondly our useless parliament how can they allow such to happen,compromising the law.eg Can a child over rule the father’s decision? I’m not a lawyer but common sence can tell,with MMD Gvt next time a minister will discipline RB. If our parliament is genuine,time is now to impeach RB.Pliz MPs listen to cries of the people ,you are watching our Country being misguided ,mislead. Teta ,Ronnie you a really mad and blind ,can you advise your comfused Father,who rush in decision making ,he can’t even wait for the dust to settle.Whatever may happen in this nation you be accoutable.Twapapata RB just step down you have failed us.

  144. Congratulations Hon Siliya, this shows that no matter how people would want to put you down if God says no its No.
    Goodluck in your new job.

  145. Congrats my daughter!! I only hope you will be able to reach my age. please donot over use the bottom machine. Make sure you tighten the loose nuts now, put lubricants as well for imroved less friction. Check the visicosity of the oils too. Some lubricants may not be original.Be careful HH may not need reconditioned bottom machines, look after that machine well. Using old spare parts like RB’s may corode the machine and this may be a disaster when we try new parts, they may no fit as the inlet may be too big beyond operating parameters.lol

  146. #196 I think TWIN 2 did not see every angle.It should have been all angles plus the one for Kneeling down hence the Knee surgery

  147. This is the straw that broke the camels back.When RB addressed us in Pretoria, i began to respect him and even to like him, but this! awe sure, no respect, no love lost and he and siliya will rot in hell come 2011. This time am coming back to vote come rain come sunshine, we as citizens have laid on our backs for too long and we are now being r.a.p.e.d!

  148. MMD, do you think people gonna forget all this garbage in 2011????? You guys are really doing a fine job digging your own political grave with your seeming lack of sensitivity and political maturity. Mss Siliya may be a good and hardworking individual, but Zambia shouldn’t die or live by one person. If her resignation wasn’t enough, just the appearance of it all should have given the President pause to apoint her to another cabinet office so soon after the scandle. What sort of face of the MMD government is the President trying to potray here—not a very pretty one, if you asked most Zambians. What a circus!!!!

  149. Mukazi wa chinsenga echiti, ARupiah kwelani palulu munveko luweme na mailo mukawele.
    There is just no looking back. she must be to swit. Awe mwandi pa Zed!

  150. Congraturation Dorika for being reappointed Minister again but one wonders what type of muti you have. To Lameck Mangani, we respect the courts but its you pipo in authority who have no respect. What respect do you need from Zambians when you are failing to sort out problems of striking civil servants. Right now my brother is very sick and I cannot take him to hospital due lack of staff. I hope you will be in that office foreverother wise Nikisi. You talk of corruption, I think this dieases has been made worse by MMD. You have diverted from the principles of democracy where all positions are elective to endorsements. How can this country be run like that. There could be be better leaders out there but are being blocked by such mentality WAMUYAYAYA. This is not what we fought agianst UNIP

  151. #226 Thandiwe, Dora says she was just giving RB ka Dyonko, then more and more, now he can t let her go.

    Wow.

  152. I BLAME KK FOR SUPPRESSING DEMOCRACY IN UNIP AS A RESULT WE ENDED UP HAVING THAT PIGYMY AS PRESIDENT. THE PIGYMY ALSO TAKES THE BLAME BY PICKING SOME BODY WHO WAS ASLEEP SOMEWHERE IN CHIFUBU. SLEEPING BEAUTY ALSO WENT ALL THE WAY IN THE BUSH TO PICK A HEADMAN TO BECOME OUR PRESIDENT. RESULT IS WHAT WE ARE SEEING.

  153. The law may have exenorated Dora, however no one was forcing RB to re-appoint her..this is a moral issue which RB is not popular for. Looking back one would say that RB left one ministerial post vacant for Dora… Dora must be special to RB… After 2011, if RB is Presido, Dora is Veep …watch my word.

  154. I see Banda changing the constitution and dying in power. He is a mafia. What he is doing is just unbelievable. If you see the pact working in 2011, forget. He will massively rig and do all sorts unspeakable things and only GOD will serve us in from this man.

    MAY THE LORD DELIVER ZAMBIA

  155. this rb is very useless how do u appoint dora after they were those problems men of diginity dont behave like that just because james bangs her no. he needs to have balls to make bald decisions. we no y he has put her ku education. the banda boys are bidding for tenders there and dora will make sure that they get those tenders so please zambia wake up and stop the plunder. dora bought a second hand freelander from pilatus for over 450million she put it someones elses name y ? u think am lying check it out

  156. At least Chisha folotiya realised fast that theres something wrong with ci Dora but RB na learning disability yabo will realise very late that shes a wrong woman.

  157. Dora boyi, i told you. Just once in that hotel should do the trick and hold that fool at ransom. Shima farm bushe alishupa? Give him some more elo na mbuyo iyo, unamupwanya mutu.

  158. Okay. No wonder after resigning she never moved from the house she was occupying as Minister of Communications because she knew that it was a matter of time and she was going to be Minister again somehow. Some people are lucky and enjoying aii.

  159. if Dora can go free, i suggest kapoko is freed and all charges against him are dropped.
    yes it is true, DS and RB are involved. Poor Thandiwe, she’s lost her hubby to a …:W.H.O.R.E:….Ask RB security detail, they know everything and have the video tapes of DS and RB in RSA screwing in his hotel room. She gives a good BJ and rode him nicely

  160. imwe mwe bantu imwe,leave bwezani alone,unless it were u 2 b appointed, chiwamila galu kulu ma mbuzi viva dora viva MMD

  161. My fellow Zedians. It is good that we are seeing things happen the way they do so that when some pipo are out of govt and are arrested we can follow thru issues sensibly. Our Judicial system is nothing to talk about. Our political leaders are mostly ba Mwankole out there to fatten they bellies. As for this MMD govt, abayashi ebatuletelele ukashapo ba RB. This election will be for u and i to get these vultures off. Twa chula pafula. Na lunshi wapamafi awamapo!

  162. Banda in June said he would not protect anyone from being investigated or prosecuted, once evidence against them was established. For real Banda has not even protected Dora. you see that all he has done is to eappoint her. yu will see that even FTJ will not be protected but will be aquitted on his instructions.

  163. This Gov is a Joke , rent there any other pipo who can do a good Job than this Dora, RB is taking a p, Let them loose the elections, then he will know that pipo are angry with them,

  164. This is taking pipo for granted!But anyway,i nderstand because there is a thin line between being peaciful and being foolish in zambia.

  165. 121 3RqU, I am here only working hard now.

    Zambia and Zambians are safer under President RB Banda, but would be safest under anyone from the UPND TEAM where real democracy is practised. Anthing other than the U-Team person ruling Zambia and President RB Banda being MMD candidate, I would vote for President RB Banda for I can not afford to see real Zimbabwe-type leadership or the like of Dictorship in Zambia. Have a great day.

    prevention is better than cure.

  166. This is evident of how best STDs (Sexually Transmited Degrees) can lead a Nation into moral socio-political degradation by finding your way out on the expense of those that can do better than you. ACC arrest RB and interrogate Dora. Ask them if Dora’s earlier resignation cosmetic to fool Mother ZAMBIA

  167. i hope all this speculation about RB doing dora is not real, because i hear at campus she never failed any course, lecturer anadya kudala.

  168. i cant believe this mumbo jumbo!!!is this country going to the dogs or wat???why is Dora Siliya back.And i dont understand how the President could bring her back when he is supposed to set an example of how to be morally upright.,,i mean…we have British govt officials resigning for relatively insignificant breaches…they are doing it on moral grounds too.Why cant we have that calibre of leaders in this country.i’m so embarassed to be a Zambian.And what the hell is ‘incompetent’ Lungwangwa going to do at the Min. of Comm. and Transport????that Ministry is now going to the dogs.HH and Sata…SOS!!!Zambians!!pls lets not foolishly vote for these bandits into govt in 2011.wake up and smell the coffee.

  169. It’s understandable for Dora to get back her Ministerial job had she been suspended or fired. But since she resigned, I fail to understand why she should accept a ministerial job or let alone RB re-hire her.

    This rot is more than rotten.

    Thandiwe will be going soon. Enter Dora Folotiya Siliya Banda.

  170. U chaps are just gealous. i will some be in the class of number one ladies and no one can stop me, am unstoppable not even tambawe benda can. besides, she is too small for that kind of weight but i have managed it well so far. you think it was for nothing that ministrial privileges were not withdrawn? young ladies, make sure you dont just enjoy the act of digging, ensure that you sure the gold as they dig from you.

  171. This president of ours is just destroying Zambia.He will never learn and hear the cry of the people of Zambia.The d@g should be jailed after his term comes to an end.What a dull president we have.And i think he is “mounting” Dora the bi*ch.

  172. Whether Dora is guilty or not the fact of the matter is that Zambian men are weak in making firm and uncompromising decision when it involves a women. Some of you are just commenting here because you are not the ones in RB’s position. Men are a weak species, but most of all Zambian men are weak at everything.(useless creatures)

  173. I believe that when one is dealing with national issues, one needs to read the mood of the nation, you dont do things like you are dearing the nation. this is the difference between thinking and sinking

  174. # 267 KA’DOYO please don’t blame every Zambian man as weak and useless creatures because not all of them think the same. Even were you are right now there are men of RB’s calibre. The character of an individual does not include everyone. Mind your language if you are Zambian. Just comment on the reappointment of Dora and not the Zambian Men whom you don’t even understand better.

  175. LT censorship is a crime against free speech. If we cant express our displeasure against the president and his concubine, we are as quilty as a kapoko. Listen to what King said about the people who look the other way when wItnessing injustice:Quote:’ IN THE END WE WILL HEAR THE SILENCE OF OUR FRIENDS, NOT THE NOISE OF OUR ENEMIES’

  176. #269 my apologies there to all Zambian males. i went out of hand in the last sentence. The 1st sentence though is right.
    #268 spot on

  177. Zambian politices has become so dirty that me as a young zambian woundnt be inspired to Join.They are supposed to be role models and leaders. But what are they showing as ‘that it is ok to do crime coz as long you are an important person nothing will happen to You and you cant go to jail coz you are better than other ‘. For so long we have accepted corruption, when are we going to unite and stand as one to fight it?

  178. go rb go, just annoy them. that is the way to deal with this lot of self appointed, so called alternative leaders.

  179. I do not see the problem. She was cleared whether you like her or not. there is no better definition of justice

  180. WHAT?? this is rediculous..is this man normal..bet ths position was offered to Dora under the sheets coz any other way doesnt make sense.. what a useless person we have for a presido

  181. Miss Daisy, u on point. That is the only logical conclusion. Zed was finished but there was hope but now with all these scandals, its done and dusted as long as we dont do jack s.h.i.t….

  182. i like the views concerning dora siliya and the president .i must say the only thing i would like to remeber chiluba for is the the freedom of the press.nothing is hidden now .dora resigned ,did the president consult her before she was appointed .can someone find out .she owes us an explaination .the fact that people are talking dora ,means all is not well.and if its ok with you prove to us that in as much as this is not right u can work .we are sick of this story .i think you have failed to capture the love of zambians .and everything done without love is sin .

  183. 281…. okay great, you are not dull. so to you it all makes sense. that someone can jump ministries in a month and in between a trubunal for misuse of power and office and ignoring legal advise on a project that has millions of people at stake? then the president accepts her resignation, 3 weeks later appoints her to another minstry…..? its all sensible?

    If she was okay not guity, then shes a quiter, dropped the minstry when pressure mounted, then she was really innocent, why didnt she return to her ministry to continue her works..thats because they dont do j.a.c.k.. And RB told her to resign assuring her she will get a post back..they dont care about us

  184. iyo kwena bwezani ni muntu ngati pali galu.i have neva heard of a President who lacks intergrity lyk him. ndiye kuti Dora anamundyesa chani?ala Ba shrek imwe days are numbered pray that u die early lyk yo colleague Levy coz wateva ur doing will caugh up with u some day God is watching mind u

  185. Let’s not use insults to our Exellency RB please. Insulting is not good. God bless RB and give him more wisdom. MMD will see us through 2031. I like MMD and will die with it.

  186. Only oppositions and those who did not vote for MMD are complaining and insulting. RB keep it up, we are behind you!

  187. #131- U are very right. Our His Excellency RB is marely following the Law. Good work RB, Keep it up

  188. I will excuse RB for this reappointment maybe he misses a camera friendly face to pass the teapot and biscuits around the cabinet meeting. He can go one up by appointing mrs Kapoko has Doras assistant.
