The series of conspiracy against the ex-Chairman of Finance Bank, Dr. Rajan Mahtani has finally met its end as the Lusaka High Court has put a stay order to the account of criminal charges which were previously being dumped on the accused. On June 25 2015, High Court Judge Mwiinde Siavwapa passed a stay order whereby the orders of arrest from the DPP has been put on a stay and Dr. Mahtani is now eligible to apply for a judicial review.
The whole incident began on June 2 2015, when Dr. Rajan Mahtani was put behind the bars for reasons which were previously declared as ‘permanently closed’. It is evident from the actions that the arrest was made with a view to take Dr. Mahtani out of context for the Zambezi Portland Cement Factory. With the help of bribery, the Ventriglia family was able to ensure that Dr. Rajan Mahtani remained unavailable for his proposal to wind up the Zambezi Portland Cement Factory.
Here is the complete picture on the stay order which has been placed by the Lusaka High Court.
