THE MMD has reaffirmed its commitment to the fight against corruption and assured the nation that it will continue to strengthen law enforcement agencies in line with its manifesto.

And the ruling party says it consulted widely on the adoption of parliamentary candidates to represent the people in all the constituencies.

Ms Siliya said in Lusaka yesterday on Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) MMD in Focus programme the MMD government has worked hard to fight corruption in the country, and that it is only those who are corrupt who have been fighting President Banda.

“Those who wanted certain things and were denied because it was not right are the ones who are fighting President Banda and Government,” Ms Siliya said.

She said the MMD has been championing the fight against corruption as can be seen from the various cases it has brought to the law enforcement agencies such as the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

Ms Siliya said the MMD has improved the separation of powers by strengthening the Judiciary and making the Executive more efficient in the delivery of services to the people.

Ms Siliya said the party has brought substance to this year’s tripartite elections by adopting credible people to represent communities as parliamentarians.

And speaking at the same forum MMD Mandevu aspiring candidate Canicius Banda said it was Government which unearthed scams in various ministries such as the Ministry of Health.

[pullquote]”It was Government, and not the opposition, that unearthed the embezzlement of K47 billion at the Ministry of Health,” Dr Banda said.[/pullquote]

Dr Banda said it was Government, and not anyone from the opposition, who unearthed the misappropriation of funds in the ministry.

“It was Government, and not the opposition, that unearthed the embezzlement of K47 billion at the Ministry of Health,” Dr Banda said.

And Ms Siliya has said the MMD government has responded positively to the people’s calls for development by implementing various projects across the country.

She said the MMD consulted widely on the adoption of candidates to represent the people in all the constituencies.

Ms Siliya said the adoption process was transparent, and that only those who were endorsed by the grassroots were adopted.

“We have delivered substance to the constituencies in the calibre of the candidates that have been adopted,” she said.

Ms Siliya said her party has adopted people with the capacity to deliver to Zambians because it does not want to fail them.

She said the MMD has lined up development programmes, which require focused people for implementation.

And MMD Lusaka Central aspiring candidate Muhabi Lungu said the party has delivered on its promise to bring development to Zambians.

  2. Ciwewele ci Dora , are you out of your mind or were again drunk? Which corruption are you going to fight , your boss says there is no corruption in Zambia. 

  3. Canicius stop telling lies, WHICH GOVT UNEARTHED THOSE SCAMS IN MOH???? If it wasn’t for that NUT beating up his girlfriend, NO ONE WOULD HAVE LIFTED A FINGER IN THIS GOVT, don’t think we are ST.uP.I.D!! we have been following what has been happening & kanitundila can’t hide much becoz we can see for ourselves!!!

  4. “and that it is only those who are corrupt who have been fighting President Banda” I agree with Dora on this one! It is only those who are corrupted with TRUTHFULNESS and HONESTY that are fighting RB.

  5. This is very funny who old think that such assurances would even come from Dora of all people. you remove the clauses that seem to be strong and say you are committed to the fight of corruption who would believe such rubbish. its such things that annoy people.the other day she was justfying the abuse of public media what is Dora thinking

  6. THESE SUCKERS ARE NOW CONTRADICTING THEMSELVES.THERE IS NO CORRUPTION IN ZAMBIA,ACCORDING TO THEIR BOSS’ COMMENTS,SO ONE CAN WONDER WHICH CORRUPTION THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.ITS TIME TO PACK YR BAG GUYS,IS THIS WHEN YOU HAVE SEEN THAT UR CORRUPT.YOU MAGGOTS.GIVE WAY TO NEW GOVERNMENT THAT IS SERIOUS WITH CORRUPTION FIGHT,NOT YOU.INSTEAD U LEGALIZED IT. 

  7. WHICH CORRUPTION?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????MY FOOT…..DONCHI KUBEBA.THOUGHT THERE IS NO CORRUPTION.

  8. We can only agree if we see commitment, by giving back what you have stolen and step down for the law to take its course! Otherwise we are waiting for new government so that you could be tried to the full extent of the law!

  9. I am surprised that Dora is talking about fighting corruption when their President had said there is no corruption in Zambia.

  10. Well Zambia is riddled with corrupt leaders.To sit here and defend this party let alone any man, as a lot of zambian men are just insane if you ask me, is rediculous

    The best thing this country can do is to have a female president, that way the country will be straight.

    Men cheat, especially Zambians, they lie, they are not faithful, can not be trusted nad are just biological mistakes

    Why not let a female take over someone as educated as some of us, with a wide span of knowledge having seen how the British government is governed , and let us be honest the benchmark for Zambia is Great Britain because the country was liberated by us the British

    I say us, because I am virtually British and I am obligated to educate people.

    My white fiance laughts at Zambia and it hurts. tks

  11. Canisius is losing it again. Why is simon miti in the street?  you are loser in mandevu . That area is PF strong hold. Pro. Luo was the last MMD MP. Then Nawa FDD lost it and  PF is strong in that area.  I know you come trom there and i too  am from that area. But you lost reality because if yor professional .

  12. @14, just stay in UK otherwise you will get mad here in Zambia. Zambia is for Zambians who know it.

  13. There’s no corruption because Dora single sourced the valuation of Zamtel and selling it for a song value no corruption because $98m belonging to pensioners has gone to refurbish Society house no corruption because Government ministers are using tax payers money to campaign when their term of office has expired and parliament not dissolved viva dora! viva mmd! viva corruption!

  14. I thought you would say you are fighting corruption, but instead you are saying you shall fight corruption. The question is when?

  15. This statement sounds very funny considering its source. Its is similar to a witch assuring you that she/he will use the powers to fight witchcraft.

  16. #14 whats so special about you??? nothing. scared of your origin!!! Keep your success in your pocket and zip up. Your fiace laughs at you and not Zambia. Remeber you are black and being abroad wont change you to be white.

  17. we will fight corruption to the bitter end..and all u doubting Thomas’ will see how we will triumph..VIVA RB 2011

  18. “THERE IS NO CORRUPTION IN ZAMBIA” PRESIDENT RUPIAH BWEZANI BANDA-ZAMBIA. You must be MAD or a FOOL to fight what doesn’t exist. It now proves to me that we have clones for leaders in MMD.

  19. Fighting corruption with designer hand bags, Ms Siliya, that Louis Vitton hand bag has all the solutions to the fight against corruption in Zambia right?

  20. No curruption…..Then there’s corruption….we’ll fight corruption..MALABISHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ATA!

  21. Your President said there is no corruption in Zambia. Which corruption again? why contradict your president? You guys are sick………………………….

  22. unip was in power for 27 year and what it did we can count and see mmd has been in power for 20 years who can count for me what they have done, yes corrupt is one of their archivement even Dora saying fighting corrupt it is a joke

  23. Does it mean the MMD is not fighting corruption? This statement may mean that once voted into power again, the MMD “WILL” FIGHT CORRUPTION!

  24. It is mind boggling to think that the MMD can promise to fight corruption after twenty years in power. In a contradictory twist, HE RBB declared Zambia a corruption free nation while MMD PR dora who happens to be eDU minister and RBB’s most trusted confidant promised to fight the scurge if the MMD is voted back. i feel so sick listenning to shamelessness of our so called leaders.

  25. MMD will go into oblivion just after this years Elections. For now we’re busy campaigning as we look forward to the inauguration ceremony of President Micheal Sata, not this jocker of a guy.

    • 34 you are now insulting women, typical language of Ba n’gwan’gwazi and bakabova. You will never impress intelectuals with such a language. Talk about issues and not insults Ok.

  26. :d:d:d Very funny indeed because the president said there is no corruption in Zambia so what are you talking about DOLA?

  27. No corruption, why is it that Mininster are only followed when they leave office. I Dr. Musonda but even him his case was wrongly proscuted and brought from attempted madder to assort. How can some one assort a person with a bullet in the head? They say there is no corruption but the bible says what people do in the inner room and in darknes will be brought on the roof top and in broad day light respectively. recently a mine cleaning company was crubbed from a poor company and given to one of the inner circle persons of these people. go to recruitment centers in jobs and trainings you only get a place if you area relative or friend or you have to pay. Win this year or rig still you are corrupt. But one day you will cry you will wish you never did what you are doing but it will be too late.

  28. Dora could you stop mosi for the moment and think there is no corruption in Zambia ask your boss,he will confirm.pls DORA you are any embarrassment and a drunkard :(:(

  29. There’s no corruption in Zambia according to RB so let’s not dream about fighting corruption. That will be wasting time and resources.

  30. Who would believe anything on fighting corruption coming from Dora or any MMD or rupiah govt leader?
    Dora is the very description, the torch bearer of corruption herself: RP Capital/ZAMTEL, airport radar etc.
    MMD must stop spraying people with hot stinky gas from their back sides

  31. so u chaps are against the fight against corruption or not. sum1 says they will fight corruption u start throwing tantrums whts yo problem kanshi????

  32. Lelo lelo, Dora, the bible says God drives mad those he is about to destroy! You MMD people will shortly cry for embracing corruption from your leader Rbish to the national assembly that removed the ‘abuse of office from the ACC act’. You all now sound like locos, one says there is no corruption another one comes out to say we will fight corruption! Make up your minds you dimwits! This year whether you like it or not, the people want change of government, whether you ban rallies by opposition leaders or not!

  33. The lack of cohesion in MMD is worrying. I know that in nature sometimes we all, as humans, get carried away and do contradictory things but for a govt, which even has advisors, chief of staff who should be seeing things differently, to be contradicting each other hourly is very sad indeed. get rid of them and let’s try others.

  34. MMD, napapata, osatinyoza. Muona monga tilibe nzeru, ayi? Ndimwe opusa kwambiri, vizende, akabzyala ufa, mbava imwe. Ndimwe otembelereka ndi kwa Mulungu komwe. What kind of shameless human beings are you? Just like professional prostitutes who don’t feel ashamed to open their legs to an unlimited number of sex customers, so you are, shameless corrupt idyots.

    Corruption to fight corruption, I’m ashamed that I come from the same province with devil’s children like Dora and Rupiah. You are busy corruptly plundering resources shamelessly, that is how evil you are, and the wrath that will befall you will make you curse the day you were born.

    Remember, power is given to the people by God, and he won’t let us down.

  35. This is why I will always state that there is currently no leadership in Zambia, so many contradictory remarks at the top. RB’s lieutenants are busy making important statements he should be making. He is more interested in commissioning pointless projects and handing out houses for photo opps without looking at the long term implications.
    MMD fighting corruption under buffoon  RB is like asking turkeys to vote for christmas!!  

  36. Dora ” Kazala” Siliya is a product of corruption herself. She bought a defective radar equipmnt, installed it at Lusaka International Airport & has never worked. She was involed in LapGreen zamtel deal. atase.The MMD rmoved the abuse of authority case from our law books. Abuse of ZNBC andmuch more.

  37. DORA, your Presidnt says there is no corruption, so what are you going to mfight for. Flip Flop. Nonsense.

  38. #14, you Mushota also, you mean Dora Sillier can be president?? It’s not about gender, it’s about the state of mind and the intent therof. And by the way changing your legal status does not change who you really are. Dont despise your origins ‘gero’, u scottish say so

  39. the more MMD stays the more people are geting frustrated. this is a timely warning to you in the MMD. dont be suprised if the people of zambia rise up against the government. MALAWI is just an example.by the way DORA, for a student to get accomodation at university of zambia, the parents has to corrupt the person whow allocates the rooms k1million. and i know this is instruction from you because the money comes to you. i shall be the first to bring the cases against you after this elections.HONESTLY GOD HAS THE HEAR.

  40. THERE’Z NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT STATEMENT,ALL SHE WAS SAYING IS THE MMD PARTY IS COMMITED TO FIGHTING CORUPTION,AND WE WILL INDEED DO IT.LOOK AT THE MANY PROJECTS RB HAS DONE SINCE 2008,A TOTAL OF 42,000,000km OF ROADS DONE IS NO JOKE,VOTE RB

  41. in zambia we are all corrupt, even PF is corrupt all the Mps are in court or suspened ku council. HH got money from stealing by selling our companies. Masebo even bewitched Tetamashimba, because teta promised to spill the beans. Mangani stole money from Mahtani that he will resolve is court cases. Mureen Mwanawasa she rich today because of the money stole during the husbands rule. Its everyone even me sata am corrupt remember my arrest in SA,and the 2 billion i was given from parliarment. We are all corrupt so who will fight us? even the church is corrupt

  42. Dora is flown above what we expected. She is even taking on men, women support her she is openning doors for you

  43. Ben Mwila has just told the nation that OP and MMD paid Sebastian Zulu who was the UNIP SG to destroy the opposition party. So what is Dollar Silit talking about when the ruling party is itself corrupt.

  44. These opposition chaps are the most currupt..i will not rest untill RB wins the coming elections..i cannot even imagine these chaps taking over..it will be the end of the good will we have so far

  45. HH: Oh ohooooooooo I don`t know who is correct now between RB and Dora over this animal corruption.
    LAZ President: Please what should we do to this animal corruption?
    HH : Yes I have an answer.
    LAZ President: Which one sir
    HH: I should smash that old clock for MMD which has been there since 1991 (20 years now)
    LAZ President: That is good sir you are 100 % correct. That Watch should be buried this year through a vote in this year `s elections to fight corruption complete.

  46. ashiiiiiiiiiii? wat a shame for the entire ARMY COMMANDER to say his officers & soldiers have no accommodation problems. LOPA be careful don’t just aim to please rupiah and his minnions. one day things will change. you are not there to save rupiah but soldiers. let sata form the next govt. DON’T KUBEBA///////

  47. When is this woman ever going to be sober and talk sense kashi? If she is not drunk  by castle then she is drunk by sex .Uyumwanakasi awe mwandi

  48. Not to worry I am she shes talking about fighting her moral corruption with other members of the MMD chifukwa Vigololo vabavuta too much. They cant fight institutional and general corruption it has defeated them. They breathe corruption, eat corruption, egest corruption dream corruption and live corruption. Corruption consitures 75% of their blood. They can only fight their moral personal corruption that is they they will succeed. Stolen waters is sweet. Tayenda.

  49. Not to worry I am sure she is talking about fighting her moral corruption with other members of the MMD chifukwa Vigololo vabavuta too much. They cant fight institutional and general corruption it has defeated them. They breathe corruption, eat corruption, egest corruption dream corruption and live corruption. Corruption consitures 75% of their blood. They can only fight their moral personal corruption that is they they will succeed. Stolen waters is sweet. Tayenda.

  50. Canicious, you are loosing it. The corruption at the ministry of healthy happened under MMD government, so you should carry the blame for the rot because you appointed those people into their positions. As Ronnie said it you can’t separate MMD and the government, they are one. So long as MMD is in power and useless leaders like Siliya and Canicius are around, I don’t see the country making any progress in the fight for corruption. 

  51. Banda said there is no corrupton in Zambia! How can you fight against something that doesn’t exist? ANSANIKA-DANDY KRAZY ON YOUTUBE. DONCHI KUBEBA.Strickly no mmd supporters.

  52. I am shocked that some people find Dora to be attractive enough to screw! Imagine yourself waking up in bed with greasy faced doll like Dora…atase…..Imwe guys have choice at least… you just go for fat thighs and a tummy with stretch marks!!! Vomit making…….

  53. What we should all be saying to RBish is, “ufisanji mamabala iwe?????” I suggest we all start singing this on Fridays at mid day – “Ufisanji mambala iwe, ufisanji mambala iwe”, then we blow the car horns, then end with the same chorus!!!

  54. its very pathetic to see how Zambia is so backwards all zambian politicians are used to is backyard politics. the president says there is no corruption the spokes person reaffirms that there is coruption its ridiculus our politicians have not idea what they are doing all they want is to make money out of Zambian people. its time we had real politicians. too much iliberal democracy that lucks balance of power which these politicians ignore once in office. its sickening to see these jockes

  55. Which corruption are you talking about. His excelency RB says there is NO corrption. He condones corruption. It is part of MMD culture. We need Sata to put tough laws against the stigma. Our country can not develop because of corruption. A new culture must be put in place to make corruption an unbailable offence like muder.
