The news from the centre is that Dr. Rajan Mahtani has been granted the permission to travel abroad as the State permitted him to do so on medical grounds. The declining health condition of the former Finance Bank Chairman has been a serious concern for the past twelve months and with growing tension with regard to the Zambezi Portland Cement Factory his present condition has deteriorated further.

However, this news has once again been fabricated by Zambia Reports and now they are trying to convince people that Dr. Rajan Mahtani has obtained his passport by faking illness and will soon flee Zambia. The question which arises here is why will he do so? What is the need to flee Zambia?

Anybody who has the slightest knowledge of this case will understand that the accused owns a judicial review which was granted to him by the Lusaka High Court and reserved the right to question his infamous arrest in June. Nevertheless, these conspirators have attempted to launch another series of defamatory news whereby they will once again try to convince people that Dr. Rajan Mahtani is a culprit.

Truth, honesty and faith in justice, these three principles are enough to justify Dr. Mahtani. His role in the development of Zambia, Ndola and other parts of Africa is known to all. For years, he has respected the law and has made himself available on every occasion. Sadly, come writers and conspirators who wish to remain behind the curtains are trying to defame him and ensure that the people of Zambia begin to hate Dr. Rajan Mahtani. The first attempt of the conspirators had failed miserably, yet, they are back with another effort. However, this time around, their whole efforts will be cut short when the accused uses his judicial review.
