The link that has leaked this news is based on the consideration that there exists a drift between the Patriotic Front (PF) and the Post Newspaper. In such regard, the Finance Minister of Zambia, Alexander Chikwanda, is heard to be discussing some matters with Rajan Mahtani. As per the recorded tape which was produced before the High Court in Lusaka the discussion highlighted issues where the Finance Minister was unhappy with Mahtani because of he had breached the regulations of Banking and Financial Services Act. It is being portrayed that Mahtani illegally owns a majority of shares of the Finance Bank of Zambia Ltd. Additionally, more rift is produced when Alexander Chikwanda is heard stating that Rajan Mahtani pays the poorest to his employees.
Irrespective of this concrete evidence, it is difficult to ascertain whether this discussion was actually in between Rajan Mahtani and Alexander Chikwanda or was another attempt by the opposition to defame Mahtani. In recent months, there have been a lot of instances where Dr. Rajan Mahtani has been convicted of guilt. However, every time investigation revealed a conspiracy against him. The latest was the conspiracy of fake email address which was created in the name of the accused and now investigation is due in order to find the culprit. In light of such affairs, it would be feasible for the authority to check for the originality of the evidence (record tape) produced and then move on to discuss about the corrupt side of Rajan Mahtani.
