Dora Siliya Should Not Be Reading News On MUVI TV
Dear Editor,
Please allow me to air my views regarding politicians reading news on public or private media; this is in a case where Former Parliamentarian Hon Dora Siliya was given a space by MUVI TV on Tuesday the 31st December 2013 which was described as a gift to charity.
I think it is not ethical for a politician to be in the driving seat to cast news considering of the many contents which are found in most media reports.
Dora Siliya was reading news on MUVI TV last evening of 31st December 2013 – She is still a politician and indeed it is very unethical for her to be a journalist when she still has some political interests.
Precisely for argument sake, our African news at most times are about politicians saying this or that.
Objectively, Dora is a still a politician who other politicians don’t have a similar liking because if it was you being an opposition member you would not like to view her or what happens if there is a bad reporting about her in that piece of news it becomes totally difficulty for her to defend it.
Politicians are professionals in their own rights, the conducts of journalism does not marry to put the two together no wonder information bill is still a political theorem during campaigns by most politicians.
But look at it in a more objective manner because my points are that she can’t entertain other audiences may be only a fraction of interested parties in the society, the tenets of democracy requires that media houses are politically free. If you are looking at the opposition as well or what will become of news if other parties like President Sata and president HH or President Chipimo are not interested to listen to Dora?

You first start with politician lawyers representing politicians in court e.g Vincent malambo and eric silwamba representing late FTJ.Bana goerge kunda and a lot more ,lets not be biased.Unless we change our laws so that people are made to relinquish their professions as long as they remain politicians then it will make sense.

Spot on!
It’s just like saying a qualified doctor who is now a politician should not save lives!
This has become the average reasoning for most Zambians.
Very primitive indeed.

i wonder why some people would waste time to sit down and write such an reasonable article. Mr concerned citizen sir or madum, dora is a professional journalist who has every right to practice her journalism. More ever she is not the one who gathered the news, her role was just to cast the news, she did not even edit the news.
THANK YOU

Dora was very adorable to look at on the screen. She is a professional news personality, and there is nothing illegal about it. She should do it again. We are enjoying it. Show them that you are a Tennis player too. Wishing you the best of 2014. Ciza uli?

Lower taxes and more money in your pocks.what a shame ba Sata and PF iyi yena mwatunyunya. exercise duty on beer 60%, fuel up, cost of living high. My question is why imposing so much high taxes on our poor Zambians.its wrong to say we want to increase revenue in fact tax revenue will be decreased you will see sorry ba Sata and PF

Ba concerned, what would you say if it ws ba shikulu ba Mwansa Kapeya being on ZNBC TV? You wuold have been justifying, i know. A lot of politicians, you should know, are today lecturing in various universities for as long as they are qualified and have time. Some concerned Zambians, kuti wapapa! No wonder their English is just like mine, tho mine is just a lot better. Am sure even the PF you want to impress, probably for a favor, have been disappointed with your reasoning and have struck you off the list of boot-liker vuvuzelas.

If it hurts you that Dora can still play the game, I ask Mwansa Kapeya to also feature on ‘IFYABUKAYA’ and see if it will hurt him or the nation. This desire of seing your political oponents in Limbo is making me to start hating the ‘PF’ leadership. Change imwe ba Mumbwe!!!!!
