Dr. Rajan Lekhraj
Mahtani is known among his colleagues as the most transparent and
ethical business person in Zambia. He has been working in Zambia for
the past three decades and during this time, he successfully
established numerous business ventures such as Mahtani Group of
Companies, Finsbury Investments and Finance Bank Zambia. He is often
conspired by unethical parties and jealous individuals.
Sometime back in
October 2018, a shocking announcement was made. The event is
described as biggest revelations for the Zambian law and government.
Mumba Malila is an honourable Justice at the Supreme Court of Zambia.
Previous to this, he held the position of Attorney General at the
Zambian government. Mumba Malila recently gave a testimony exposing
the corrupt practices across the Zambia government and even the
courts. In his testimony, he mentioned the case of 2012 related to
Dr. Rajan Mahtani. In this case, his testimony claims that Dr. Rajan
Mahtani was falsely prosecuted. According to the testimony, the case
was misled by some unethical and corrupt yet powerful parties and
individuals. These individuals influenced the decision-making of the
case which resulted in the misdirected judgment. The case results
were against the interests of the public policies and were unethical.
Requests were made to make the case null and void but these requests
were rejected. The testimony has opened up the large-scale corruption
and unethical practices going on within Zambia. The court is expected
to look into the testimony and re-open the case.
This event
definitely marks the start of an era where unethical and corrupt
business practices will no longer be tolerated. It is expected that
more testimonies and evidences will be shared by people to catch
corrupt parties.
