MMD spokesperson Dora Siliya says she has earned her positions in government through hard work.
Ms Siliya who is also Education Minister said she has been in the party for a long time and that she had added value to it.
She was responding to a question that she is untouchable in President Rupiah Banda’s government. This was when she featured on Zambezi FM, a local radio station in Livingstone over the weekend.
Ms. Siliya noted that people had become opinion makers, a vice which the MMD fought. She said she was a hard worker who managed to get votes in the Eastern province when she ran for parliamentary elections.
Ms. Siliya pointed out that she was first appointed as a Deputy Minister by late President Levy Mwanawasa.
”Political space should be filled with issues and not what people think about me,” she said.
She said her job as MMD Spokesperson was not to sell herself but the party brand.
And reacting to a question that some chiefs in the province had branded the MMD a violent party following some threats by some MMD cadres to gang rape opposition Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) leader Edith Nawakwi, Ms Siliya described the statements as unfortunate.
”That statement is unfortunate that is why I have said space should be filled with issues. Every party has a following and when we insult leaders we forget that there are people who support them passionately,” she said.
And commenting on whether the expulsion of Livingstone MMD Constituency Chairman Capt John Mwamulima still stood since he had rejected it, Ms Siliya said there must be discipline in the party since the MMD had been in existence for a very long time.
She said that there was no political problem within the MMD adding that there was also no insurmountable problem in the party but that discipline must prevail.
Ms. Siliya observed that President Rupiah Banda believed in dialogue and that what the people of Zambia wanted to see from the party was development. She also said at the moment, government was concerned with the implementation of its programmes.
She said the President was concerned about implementation because when the election time comes, the MMD would be able to point at the programmes that it had implemented.
”We have a plan and we know where we are going,” she said.

Yes Siliya you really have earned the position. We all know that and above all we are from the East. Right time for you to be in politics Dora! Make hay while the sun shines!!
Yes Ba Dora what hard work are u refering to ? leg power,nepotism or corrupt deals?l stand to be guided.
Dora should be ashamed of herself…..The fact that she was chosen by Banda whose leadership qualities are questioned by many, she shouldn’t be proud. What she should do is try to improve herself work wise. We are tired of politicians that are so self centered and all they are good at is worshiping Banda. She was suppose to condemn gang rape against Nawakwi instead there she was praising Nyama Soya. I wish those gang r.a.pists could r.ape Dora and Tandiwe Banda so that we can see what banda would say and do..
Can you please visit the two Universities ( UNZA & CBU) and explain to the students how hard working you are? or you mean you have done alot of leg work
# 1 what did you say?? Was that meant for Doara or your Mother?
#3 Don’t ever wish for anybody to be r.a.p.e.d, irrespective of what they have or not done. In our Minister and Honourable MP Dora Siliya, I see the same usual problem we have especially in government; that of trying to prove something at the expense of providing quality leadership.
#3 God forbid please it will not make it any right for any woman to be raped. If the powers that be cannot condemn what the gang rapists intend to do, we condemn them in strongest terms. MAY GOD PROTECT ALL THE WOMEN FORM SUCH VICES and those rapists let them try and we as women will show them what we are made off. Vitendeni!!!
#1 # 2 # 3 # 4 What are you talking about, Was Levy Mwanawasa from the East? Dora was first appointed by LPM. You should be factual in your submission fellow Zambians. Some of you want to vent your frustrtions on Dora and the Govt. If u don t work hard thats your faulty. edited. Going to CBU for what?? Dora is a Minister of Education and not CBU And Unza.Dora Well Done!! Keep it up We are ready to die for Zambia
:-@:-@:-@:-@:-@:-@:-@:-@[-x[-x[-x[-x[-x[-x[-x
#8 stop being myopic and foolish,any right thinking Zambian will tell u that Dora does not deserve to be a minister,if anything she should be serving a jail sentence for breaching the constitution over the Zamtel sale saga.Only an ***** like u #8 will for some reason ignore such facts and worship a criminal like Dora.Yes our mothers have opened their legs hence our existence but they did it with honour and dignity and u can not compare them to that hard working B***H minister called Dora
its Bottom Power hard work where ever she goes UNZA, ZNBC, Gov,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dora Siliya, just Know that what you do behind Closed doors ,oneday it will come in the open.We have ever seen Politicians Supporting blindly but once Chopped they spill all they were hiding.Time will come ,Zambians are suffering and you are there praising your self.Remember you and Rb have not done anything apart from what mwanawasa laid during his time. Rb should not boast.
Well, this nepotism in Zambia, you recall when Chiluba was in power and the likes of Franks Mutubile and Caristo Chitamfya would speak of how hard working, wise and fimo fimo Chiluba was? Even with the economy, these chaps were talking of achieved economic “bench marks” that nobody else outside of Luapula could see, it was not until the pygmy was removed and exposed of having used Zaire, where there is no economy, as a comparable case, that they tucked their “kolwe” tails over their smelly prats and zipped their lips. Same with Ba Kumawa, today they think they are the cleverest Zambias, comes 2011 polls, Dora and all these Malawans will be in purgatory. Dora’s legs will by then be grounded by wear and tear from too much ‘ukusobolisa”.
We are Learning More from this.:d/:d/:d/:d/:-\”:-\”:-\”
Iwe ka # 5 & 8 just shut….we all know that Dora has earned her positions from “between her legs”. Just shut, are on pay roll do defend this hule…????
YOU KNOW WHAT SHE MEANS SHE DID IT LIEING ON HER BACKSIDE DONE WE ALL KNOW IT.
Hahahahahahahahaha I agree with you Dora. A good pipe really pays off. Bet you worked extremely hard with that glory hole between those curvy legs. Hahahahahahahahahhahahahaha I admire your way of working hard. Keep it up and work extremely hard before that hole grows old and wrinkled.
It is heartbreaking that this irresponsible whore called Dora can be appointed to head a key ministry such as education. There are numerous well qualified, dignified and highly respected Zambians who should be heading that ministry but unfortunately the appointing authority has his personal interests to take care of not that of the country. Let’s face it, Dora Siliya given her notoriety can never be a cabinet minister anywhere in the world. She is a total disgrace and has no shame to claim that she is ‘hard working’. There is no doubt that when a new government comes in there will be a lot of cleaning up to do.
DELETED: POSTER RISKS BEING BANNED

Hahahahahahahahahaha DORA SERIOUS. Can i come between those legs too.

I choose to support Dora and I am not a bootlicker
A lot of times, women we tend to be jealous of other women’s successes. Dora is on the right path and she needs our support. She is implementing the right policies in education and you all need to get over it.
If you think insulting the government will make Zambia a better place, then you will need a second tongue!
why delete comments. we want to read what ppl have said pls.
why delete comments. we want to red what ppl have said pls.
People please grow up and dont say anything if you have nothing sensible to contribute. I am sure all of you how you wish you can have a chance with our education minister, don’t hate and women please stand up for other suceessful women. When ever a woman does well in Zambia we run to calling them names, please guys man up and just compete. How many male politicians do we parade in public? Is all you are saying in true, it is her private life and please keep the comments to yourselves.
They say first check yourself before calling out others.
dora shud immitate dorine mukanzo. carpet interview has really help Dora. maybe next time we shud have a female president so that we can also bost ourselves the way dora does. we also got good pipes to satisfy our next good female president and become ministers and spokesperson of our manyozo forwading part (MFP)
If many of you who have made the above comments are eunuchs, then you know what you are talking about.
* 8 stop being personal no one wrote to you but Dora what hard working do you do or talking about i will tell you one thing for sure that I’m a Zambian British trained medical doctor based in England and were ever you are i’m very sure that you are some useless MMD cadre
# 40 Great job on your qualifications, Kudos to you! but please dont bring in qualifications, so what if you are a doctor in England ? be humble our educated doctor. I think # 8 was simply stating an opinion and that should be understood. Dora will not come to the blog to defend herself but her MMD or personal supporters will stand up for her. Keep saving lives ba doctor and mayb e one day you can help improve our healthcare system in Zambia.
What have you done so far, have you visited the universities in Lusaka and Kitwe. The students there are suffering, have you seen the accommodation?
Dorah must be extremely sweet so as to be glued to the all-mighty. I want her to know that my handsome friend is single and I believe she can be a good and entertaining playmate
She has earned her position ladies and gentlemen. And HER POSITION had to be give to her! How infantile!
