Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has disclosed that it had started a probe into electoral graft allegations levelled on Dora Siliya by the Supreme Court,which nullified her election on June 27.
This is according to ACC Director General Roswin Wandi, who said the former legislator would soon be called for questioning as the ACC is “actively” on the case.
“Our legal team is already working on Ms Siliya’s case following the ruling,” Ms Wandi said. “We are already on the case and we will soon obtain the full judgement from the Supreme Court so that we can thoroughly study it and map a way forward.”
Ms Wandi’s disclosure comes days after Home Affairs Minister Edgar Lungu stated that the Supreme Court’s decision to nullify Ms Siliya’s election was to be taken “seriously” following the gravity of the corruption allegations.
“We want the public to know that we are taking this matter [Dora] seriously,” Ms Wandi said “ We cannot disclose the details but we are on the case.”
Ms Siliya was taken to court by PF candidate in the 2011 polls Leonard Banda, who contended that the former broadcaster engaged in a litany of electoral malpractices that influenced the election results in her favour.
Supreme Court judge Elizabeth Muyovwe in her ruling said Ms Siliya engaged in “illegal practices” and she also found a “massive” corruption case on Ms Siliya,who, while campaigning, also linked President Sata to homosexuality.
takwabafye nachimayo ichimoneka kwati chaume,what more umutuma?
Madam Wandi should be professional in her work.Dora Siliya is not the first MP to have lost a seat under the illusion of corruption.Mutolo Phiri is re contesting a seat that was nullified under similar reasons.Is he being investigated?
ACC has lost credibility because of Madam Wandi who quickly jumps to political instructions that merely want to use her to settle personal squabbles.CAN SHE FOR ONCE PLEASE SPARE THE INTEGRITY OF THIS ONCE VIBRANT INSTITUTION?
Roswin Wandi is a coward and very dull.. She’s just being used by PF politicians to fight political opponents. How come its just Dora Siliya they want to question? What about the other nullified seats? What happen to GBM and Wynter’s corruption cases? This woman will be held accountable one day.. She’s a person who can’t survive life without a job…
But this Bitch failed to nail Wynter and GBM who accused each other of Corruption with evidence.
Of all the seats that have been nullified why are you quick to jump to Dora Siliya’s case? Perhaps the watchdog story is true that they are scared of her winning back her seat.Dora should fight this.Besides we have a DPP who has a case in the courts and has set on a personal vendetta to ruin our former President.May the angels of the army of God surround Dora Siliya and bring forth victory for her.May the corrupt A.C.C be brought to ruin.May all their evil works be revealed.
This is rubbish. Leave Dora alone. You have your paliamentarian sit. Witch hunters
What if Dora rewins back the sit
Jungle rule is now clipping in slowly. Why Dora and not the other MPs who lost based in nullified results in courts of law. Dora just do a Winter Summer approach.
Dora already found guilty by Edgar Lungu and guilty DPP…ACC is just window dressing…
Dora also calisamwa saana!!
Still more nokhoh ichinyoh dora taleshupa abantu.

May the Al-Mighty God save Zambia from this PamaFi(PF) Rgime.Surely why should the PamaFi want to destroy the crediblity of all important Institutions like,Juditiary,Police,ACC,Parliament,Chiefdoms,etc.Please God,help us.Zambia needs not just polical Leadership,but Leadership of morality.Thank God,we’ve heard where now MMD under the Leadership of Dr Nevers Mumba,a third Pillar of Morality has been included after the Pillars of Democracy and Free Market Economic System.Leadership of morality is very much lacking in Zambia.Indeed Zambia Should Be Saved.
This is a very worrisome trend that’s continuing in this country that when officials from the government of the day make public statements that someone should be investigated, then the investigative wings pounce on an issue. Indeed, these investigations might be warranted, but why do they seemingly tend to follow some political pronouncement? I wish for once these investigative wings would appear to be impartial.
