The government of Zambia have indeed started to look into the matters and the recent SC win by Finance Bank Zambia and Dr. Mahtani is a prime example that corruption and unethical practices will not be tolerated at any cost.

Their newest tool for targeting innocent and honest businessmen like Dr. Rajan Mahtani is paid media channels. They just need to provide these news channels with some monetary reward and the latter will start printing fake news stories and false news items. Dr. Mahtani has been a prime target of these conspiracy news items for quite some time. However, it was only when his own establishment was attacked by the conspirators and this attack resulted in reputational and financial loss, he started taking actions against these conspirators.

This time, it was the SC which gave rightful justice to the bank and it’s Ex-Chairman Dr. Rajan Mahtani. Simaata was convicted and was also penalized for his activities.
