Zambian nation was shocked by the recent testimony from Supreme Court Judge. Honorable Justice Mumba Malila is a notable judge at the Supreme Court of Zambia. As such, his testimony counts as a critical turning point for the Zambian law and court proceedings. The testimony has been considered as significant and shocking at the same time. The testimony given by a judge at the Supreme Court Zambia is a testament of a positive change happening across the Zambian nation. With this revelation, it is expected that more and more people will be coming forward and help the law and government to catch corrupt and unethical entities influencing the decision making of the government. On the other hand, this testimony has revealed the large scale unethical practices such as corruption and bribery and focuses on how deep these practices have penetrated within the government.
One of the cases which were of significance in this testimony was related to Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani. Dr. Mahtani is a notable businessman in Zambia and has been successfully establishing numerous business ventures. Some of his companies include Mahtani Group of Companies, Finsbury Investments and Finance Bank Zambia. He is also a notable charity person. However, he is often attacked by conspirators who try to damage his reputation and his businesses. According to the testimony by Mumba Malila, the same issue occurred during the 2012 case which went against him. According to the testimony, the 2012 case against Dr. Rajan Mahtani was motivated by several political undertones and was against the interests of the public policies. Despite making several requests to make the case null and void, no such actions were taken by the tribunal who was handling the case at that time. This clearly showcases that the judgment and decision making was influenced by external forces.
This latest testimony has opened up lot of questions on the current strength and decision-making powers of the Zambian government.
