Lillian Fulata Shawa

Fulata Lillian Shawa Siyuni is a Zambian lawyer and former Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). Quotes I still feel I write more and better than I speak, but I could not pursue Mass Communication at the University of Zambia because it was a direct entry and I was not selected for that. ZIALE was not much of a struggle for me. I managed to pass because we had a good foundation at UNZA [University of Zambia], it is easy for students to put to practice the theory they learn in school. It is sad that the pass rate [at ZIALE] has gone down but I would urge students to study hard and concentrate on their studies. There is no political influence as people perceive; we do not look at names and political affiliation when prosecuting, we work to serve both the accused and the victim but people do not know or understand that. Lawyers should not only focus on defending high-profiled persons, they should get down to an ordinary citizen who may desperately need the services but does not have the capacity to afford legal charges.
