It has been discovered by ZIN that two men named Richard Sakala and Dickenson Jere, the hired editors of the two newspapers Daily Nation and Zambia Reports, were actually responsible for the mischief. If you want to know the real story behind this fake one, which has been published in the tabloids, continue reading this article. Here are some facts enumerated below to justify the assertions of Rajan Mahtani.
* Gilbert Temba was a partner of Njovu of the Investrust Bank* Dr. Mahtani never claimed K120 million or any amount of money from Bank of Zambia as compensation for its wrondoings that it did at the time when the former government ruled the nation; although he must and if he makes the claim would very much be justifiable.
* The alleged misconducts were fabricated by the conspirators who wanted to evade repaying their loan contracts and share spoils with those who had their involvement in Rupiah-Banda government. It’s two years since the FBZ has been handed over legally to its original shareholders and owners and so why these articles now? The simple answer is the culprits have actually had their case processed through the Court of Law and are presently in a state of quandary as to the way to repay these loans without losing any assets that they have acquired illegally.
* They have teamed up with several perpetrators of the previous administration for using these tabloids and using techniques to disregard Dr. Rajan Mahtani, the Mahtani Group of Companies Chairman. Their motto was to influence the Courts so that they pressurize him and his Bank. It has not succeeded before and will not even succeed in future unless they expose themselves in public, admit their wrongdoings and confront the truth.
* FBZ has always obeyed the Banking and Services Act and so genuine enquirers if want can obtain copies of their annual accounts, which are in fact audited by International Auditors of great repute.
* Issues with regards to the First Rand and their conspirators are legal matters.
* It was mentioned in the para 11 of press query:the influential Zambian Banker—which can only be related to Mr. Mahtani who has indeed denied his involvement in all these things and said that it’s a false allegation against him and had directed lawyers to investigate his case.
* It has become clear that perpetrators are actually using strategies of blackmail, cheap media and vendetta. Since the masterminds are already known, hopefully the case would be dealt properly by authorities.
