SATA Re-Instates Expelled CBU Students Who Protested Against Dora Siliya’s Appointment

Republican President, Micheal Chilufya Sata ordered the reinstatement of Copperbelt University (CBU) students who were expelled in 2008 for protesting the appointment of Dora Siliya.
President Sata has since urged the Bursaries committee to issue full 100% bursary to the students.
The protest came after embattled former President Banda re-appointed Siliya who had earlier resigned from her position as communications minister after the Judge Dennis Chirwa-led tribunal found that she had breached the Constitution by appointing RP Capital Partners of Cayman Islands to valuate Zamtel assets against the Attorney General’s advice to the government.
The students in the name of Kasonde Mwenda, Lucky Miyanda, Kenneth Sampa and Oliver Silumbe were used as scapegoats by heartless and selfish MMD cadres in the university management who protected their jobs at the expense of innocent students.
The students are expected to start school next year 2012 as this academic year is almost finished.
Meanwhile, workers at CBU are calling for the termination of Vice Chancellor’s contract who is Prof. Mutale Musonda who they said was an MMD sychophant.
