Chief Government Spokesperson Dora Siliya has accused the opposition parties of undermining the fight against corruption through baseless allegations which they cannot substantiate.
Speaking at a press briefing in Lusaka yesterday, Ms Siliya said that Government, under the leadership of President Edgar Lungu, is working hard to deliver development to the people and will not be swayed by unproductive criticism and called on Zambians to ignore sentiments from the opposition aimed at portraying a negative image of the country.
Ms Siliya said that it was unfortunate that opposition political parties are turning the fight against corruption into a joke, adding that Government through the investigative wings is committed to the fighting corruption regardless of who has been cited.
Ms Siliya said that those that have information on various corrupt cases should take the information to relevant authorities and not making a joke out of it because the Government is serious about the fight.
Ms Siliya said the opposition has clearly shown that they are trying to remain relevant on the political scene by calling various media houses to demonize Government and its efforts instead of giving solutions
Ms Siliya said the government is implementing measures in various sectors to uplift the people’s living standards.
“Negativity will not help the country. We in government have a job to provide hope to the people of Zambia and people have confidence that we are doing the right thing,” Ms Siliya said.
Who owns the 48 houses ? Lungu or tasila ?

Madam, That is the job of the opposition, to point out areas of weakness and not to resolve the issue for the government.
It’s upon the government to prove back to the people and opposition with facts on what they have done to solve the issues highlighted by the opposition. Instead of doing that we see a whining GRZ spokesperson, claiming to work hard to resolve the issues.
Get lost!!, Zambians are tired of this cheap tit-for-tat. Instead of you providing the solution you are doing exactly what opposition is doing – Blaming !! YOU are SURVIVING on taxpayers money, and NOT the opposition. SO get the job done and stop crying foul…
Each president has his foot prints:
KK = his independence and guitar.
Chiluba = privatization, 10pin houses to tenants, 300 pairs of shoes.
Mwanawasa = fighting corruption, first historical death.
RB = travels and Kanitundila
Sata = loans for development, best comedian.
Lungu = why did he stop dancing? list ten, all will end up to first imprisoned president.
If likes of Dora continue like that, their boss maybe poisoned by those thugs he has. Even Kaizer can knife him. The man need help.
Am sorry to Kaizer on comment above, but the only thing we hear about that guy is fighting, even ZP officers, shootings and missing, even if he is Ba Edgar’s cousin, he should have been discarded far away like to Syria.
It is only that Ba Edgar has no strong family, I wish he had a nephew like Leo Mugabe, defending his uncle until to the grave.
Surely, how can allegations undermine fight against corruption? Dora, please do better next time, recall you are paid to inform the country factually. Please give us value for Tax-Payers’ money.
,”.. adding that Government through the investigative wings is committed to the fighting corruption regardless of who has been cited.”.
But madam Hon Dora, you have now state captured those same wings to “investigate” and then present “selected” evidence to the courts of law. You have not explained how and why the $300,000 payment evidence proceeds of crime was not presented to court in a recent case resulting in a rather sill.y acquittal. Zambians are observing madam Hon Dora and they shall catch up.
Tell us who the owner of the 48 houses is?
Each time Dora Siliya opens her mouth iam reminded of late president Sata the only Zambian who had excellent description of this woman.
In addition please clarify the following;
1. Why PF and its Government invested in a Presidential Jet and useless old Fire Fighting trucks for millions of Dollars without without following the laid down Tender procedures
2. Why should President Lungu and his Government wait until December to reduce prices of Mealie Meal
3. Why is the President travelling to all provinces in the Country to inspect projects when he has appointed ministers to represent him in each of the Provinces
4. Why the proposed constitution has to be approved by Parliament and not by the people through a Referendum
5. Where the President of Zambia does not and has never held a Press conference
Thanking you in advance for your response mama Dora
Correction:
5. Why the President of Zambia does not and has never held a Press conference
Thanking you in advance for your response mama Dora
IWE CHISUSU…
Update us on the baseless 48 houses investigations before you blame others.
Every dog has its day .
Look at Mugabe
Can Dora Siliya deny that Valden Findlay and Lungu her Boss are Friends? Valden Findlay though not a Civil Servant has been seen in Lungu’s Delegation traveling to Foreign Lands on Lungu’s Presidential Plane. Now Valden Findlay has been indicted in the US for dealing in Mandrax and other Narcotic Drugs. It is alleged that Mandrax and other Narcotic Drugs are being ferried by Findlay on Lungu’s Presidential Plane. Can Dora comment on the US Mandrax Indictment? We all know that if u want to know who ECL is look at his Friends. Lungu is associating with a Well known Criminal and a Mandrax Dealer. As the English will say “Birds of the same feathers flock together”.Period
Dora is still drafting fake statement to defend her boss over Findlay.
Ndipo aLungu azankala na milandu yambili vakachoka pa kamupando kaja! It seems he has lot to be condemned for, more than any other President in the history of this country in such a short period he’s been in office
Opposition is infested with clowns, jesters and f00ls. Gone are the days of Sata or Kambela in opposition. Who can forget how the CBD would clamour around taxi ranks to hear Sata on let the people talk?? Who can forget the shadow cabinet pronouncements of Kambela’s upnd on alternative policy?? Compare that with the calibre of 1d!otic statements of today from hh, Kambwili, Kalaba, pastor of lies Mumba?? Really sad. Spot on, Hon. Siliya.
Thanks to God that opposition is not infested with salivating 1becile wankers like you.
V.A.L.D.E.N. = GREAT CORRUPT LEADER!!
Meanwhile “allegations” ati Kaizer uko AYASHA BANTU TUKOPO TWA NGOZI, & no dockets opened, or arrests.
Iwe’ Dolla Siliti, if that’s NOT Corruption what is?
Tell us!!
So kuli iwe Ms Siliya, it make sense that the Michael Sata Toll gate can cost more than the house of Rupiah Banda?
“We in government have a job to provide hope to the people of Zambia …”
Baseless hope such as saying meali prices will reduce in December meanwhile people continue to suffer. Hope should be based on actions. Now actions of pF have led to drastic reduction in economic growth, increase in the cost of living, no jobs, corruption, etc.
So the question is, can anyone have hope after the negative actions of the pF?
Who is swimming in the Kariba Dam kanshi .Swimming in the Kariba dam does stopped from thinking well .
Who is swimming in the Kariba Dam kanshi .Swimming in the Kariba dam does stop her from thinking well .
Ba opposition, whats you relevance in the political sphere?
Tell us how you will develop Zambia better than what PF is doing today. PF has raised the bar in terms of development and anything short of it, forget everything you are speculating. We need serious minded people and not negativity and witch hunting
PF HAS SOLD ZAMBIA TO THE CHINESE, TO DRUG LORDS AND TO THE PF. CITIZENS OF ZAMBIA NO LONGER HAVE SAY IN OUR COUNTRY. THEY FIRE ANYONE WHO HAS PROVE OF CORRUPTION (FIC) AND APPOINT THOSE WHO THEY CAN MANIPULATE. WHAT DEVELOPMENT HAS THE PF ACHIEVED ?? THE ROADS ARE STILL FULL OF POTHOLES. ALL BUILDINGS THEY ERECTED ARE STANDING IDLE. MARKETS HAVE NOT BEEN COMPLETED. PEOPLE HAVE NO MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS AND NO FOOD IN THEIR BELLIES. IF YOU THINK THAT IS DEVELOPMENT I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU..
Aba nabo bawelewele kwena mwe.
Sometimes it’s better to shut up! Dora what is the job of the opposition? To sit back and take all the nonsense that GRZ does?
Does an alleged drug dealer fly with the Republican President whom the Zambian people employed? Yes he does! So what is that which you want people to know or say…. Dora you are useless?
Dora Slit
Dora chisusu..
Fat Cat eating off the people and never created any value.
Imagine someone turning you into his Vuvuzela amazing
Dora,there is no development taking place in Zambia under PF.There is only deterioration,suffering and pain for majority of Zambians.Dora, you have lost your soul and your conscience for you to defend the PF looting and state vandalism.
Government is not funding contractors.It is one year now and how do expect them to survive with their families.
LT, you have a huge problem with the present simple tense!
The Minister of Home Affairs should extend his whip on Special Interest Individuals like he has sent a clear warning signal by deporting the Chinese Top Star erring directors We have a lot of these special Interest Individuals watched and listed by freely associating with our institutions and this must be stopped and such be barred from associations
Most of these fake and special interest individuals and family have perfected the art of political associations especially those from one area, Northern India. Once you see them pay particular attention to what sought of business and traveled countries they have been to. Often time you hear I have been from India traveled many countries and have…
Dora should should shut her mouth and her a$$ as she is only a bed Warmer for ECL, Valden Findlay and PF.
