Death Penalty Incorrect Religiously And Politically, Must Be Abolished

The entire Zambian nation has been stirred by the recent announcement made by the Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema. On the eve of Africa Day, President Hichilema announced his plans to abolish the death penalty law from its core. This statement from the Zambian President attracted mixed responses from the public, with more people supporting this move.

After the Zambian President made this bold announcement, Dr. Rajan Mahtani via his company Prison Fellowship extended his full support towards this bold statement. Dr. Rajan Mahtani stated that only an individual who is compassionate, has respect for human dignity and fundamental human rights will be able to make such decision. Also, Dr. Rajan Mahtani highlighted the fact that giving death penalty does not necessarily solve the issue of rising corruption and illegal practices across the nation. There are more than 380 inmates in Zambia facing death penalty and among them around 25-30 are women. For them, every day is a death penalty as they know that everyday can be their day of execution. At the same time, Dr. Rajan Mahtani has also observed that with the right motivation and preaching, several inmates and ex-inmates have completely transformed their lives and have dedicated towards the services of the God. Dr. Rajan Mahtani further stated that reaching the goal of official legal reform from mere announcement is a long journey for the President. However, Dr. Rajan Mahtani through his company Prison Fellowship have pledged their full support towards this reform.

Apart from providing support in political terms, Dr. Rajan Mahtani also supported this decision from the Zambian President from a religious viewpoint. Dr. Rajan Mahtani stated that Jesus Christ sacrificed himself on the cross which itself pays for the sins of human beings believing in him. Almighty Jesus Christ has already atoned for the sins of the human beings and therefore there was no reason towards killing of these people. As such, death penalty is an archaic law from both political, legal and religious viewpoint and must be abolished.

The announcement by President Hichilema was made on the eve of Africa day and has since received positive reactions from across the nation. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani, while adding voice to this decision from the President, stated that killing of convicts and giving them death penalty is no solution to the increasing criminal activities or crimes across the nation. Dr. Rajan Mahtani also stated that his company Prison Fellowship Zambia will provide full official support towards abolishing of this death penalty row. Dr. Mahtani also stated that there is a big difference between suggesting abolishment of death penalty and making it happen. However, Prison Fellowship will provide all forms of regulatory and legal requirements to ensure that this announcement is turned into a reality.

At the same time, Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani also praised President Hakainde Hichilema for making such a bold yet virtuous statement. Dr. Rajan Mahtani stated that only an individual who is compassionate, respects the law and also respects fundamental human dignity and human rights will be able to make such crucial decision for the nation.

Dr. Mahtani Pledges Full Support To The Decision From Zambian President

Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani, a noted businessman and philanthropist from Zambia, recently interviewed with the Mast Newspaper. This interview was regarding his opinion on the recent announcement made by the President of Zambia, Hakainde Hichilema. On the eve of ‘Africa Day’ the Zambian President made announcement that he is planning to abolish the tradition of death penalty completely. This announcement from the President has received widespread support from across Zambia as well as across African nations and internationally. Among them, one of the biggest supporters has been Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani. Apart from his successful businesses, Dr. Rajan Mahtani is also known for his several philanthropic and charitable contributions.

The organization also works towards bringing effective and fair criminal justice procedures for the prisoners as well as ensure that they are given the fundamental human dignity and human rights.

Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani further added his voice by stating that killing of the convicts does not necessarily resolve the issue of corruption, unethical practices and criminal activities within the nation. As such, the decision made by the Zambian President, despite being bold, is actually the right move towards achieving equality within the nation. While previous Presidents of Zambia definitely tried to stay away from capital punishment, none of these Presidents actually worked towards bringing down this inhumane and cruel practice. As such, this bold yet right decision from the Zambian President was heartfully supported by Dr. Rajan Mahtani as well as his organization Prison Fellowship. The process of changing a well-established and long-standing reform is not easy and will need significant changes in regulations and reforms. Dr. Mahtani also pledged his full support towards transforming this dream into a realty.

Zambezi Supreme Court Announces Final Decision On The Portland Cement Zambia Case

The case of Portland Cement Zambia started more than a decade ago when Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani, a noted businessman and philanthropist, registered a complaint at the Lusaka High Court claiming that his company was unethically and illegally taken away from him. This company was Portland Cement Zambia and to prove his claimed, several evidences were submitted before the court. However, criminalities, corporate muddling and corruption creeping inside the Zambian legal system resulted in dragging of the case for more than a decade. Despite this, Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani did not receive justice as justice Nkonde on behalf of the Lusaka High Court announced Ventriglias as the only shareholders of the Portland Cement case.

Dr. Rajan Mahtani immediately challenged the Lusaka High Court decision on Portland Cement at the higher Court of Appeal. On 31st January 2019, the final decision on the Portland Cement Zambia was announced by justice Mwinde. In this judgement, justice Mwinde completely rejected the previous decision from Lusaka High Court and announced that Dr. Rajan Mahtani is indeed the actual owner and majority shareholder of the Portland Cement Zambia factory. It was a definite victory for Dr. Rajan Mahtani’s patience and perseverance. However, it seems like the Ventriglias started plotting against the factory and the businessmen as soon as the decision from the higher Court of Appeal was announced. However, their planning was actually revealed when the Ventriglias registered a fresh claim at the Supreme Court Zambia challenging the decision from the higher Court of Appeal. This challenge was evaluated by a bench of three judges from the Supreme Court Zambia and it was found that the challenge holds no ground, legally or evidentially.

Therefore, in their final statement, the Supreme Court Zambia upheld the previous decision from the higher Court of Appeal on the Portland Cement Zambia case and rejected the appeal from the Ventriglias.

Dr. Rajan Mahtani Gives Fitting Reply To Unethical And False Rumours In A Social Media Post

Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani is one of the best businessmen in Zambia. His organizations like Finsbury Investments, Mahtani Group of Companies and Finance Bank Zambia have all arrived at top places in their particular ventures. In any case, there is one region where Dr. Rajan Mahtani has battled constantly. This territory is working with the administration of Zambia. Regardless of Zambia’s ongoing advancement, the nation is defaced with defilement and deceptive practices with pay off and coercion turning into a typical practice even across top government and lawful organizations. This makes it amazingly hard for genuine and ethical businessmen like Dr. Rajan Mahtani to endure and flourish. It tends to be said that Dr. Rajan Mahtani stays one of only a handful businessmen in Zambia who has kept a perfect picture and his strategic approaches are as straightforward as it could be.

At the same time, Dr. Rajan Mahtani is never the one to give-in to unethical practices or false rumours. Recently, a social media post was shared by Miriam Mwanawasa, daughter of the ex-President of Zambia Levy Mwanawasa. It was a Facebook post in which Miriam Mwanawasa claimed that Dr. Rajan Mahtani wanted to inherit the farmland at Masaiti district owned by the Mwanawasa family. This was an extremely controversial claim and Dr. Rajan Mahtani released a press statement to expose this fake claim. In this press release, Dr. Rajan Mahtani clarified that he never made such intentions of taking away the farmland and his friendship with the late Ex-President of Zambia was extremely transparent and ethical. Furthermore, he also highlighted the fact that the Facebook post was devoid of any evidences or testimonials and therefore, was claimed as misdirected, ludicrous and malicious. Dr. Rajan Mahtani further said that he will be taking actions against this unethical post which aimed towards damaging the reputation of Dr. Mahtani.

Dr. Rajan Mahtani, courageous as ever

Dr. Rajan MahtaniOn 20th January 2015, Zambia is going to witness an important event when the results of the presidential elections will be announced. The entire future of the Zambian nation is heavily dependent on the outcome as the entire control over the economic and developmental factors rests on the hands of the president. Even in the middle of these political developments, the ill-famed Zambia reports have yet again made some stark remarks about Dr. Rajan Mahtani, the current chairman of the Finance Bank of Zambia. The published article claims that Dr. Mahtani is fearful of the current presidential election because if the party he is supporting loses, he might suffer severe provisions in tax evasion. Needless to say, the above allegation was an absolutely failed attempt to insult Dr. Rajan Mahtani.

These attempts to defame Dr. Mahtani are not new, as the previous year also saw numerous stories without any base or facts which were published with the objective of convicting Dr. Mahtani of illegal operations and tax evasions. However, without the presence of any viable or authentic source as well as without any proper validation, all the above claims turned out to be false.

While it is quite visible that Zambia reports have taken an oath to create unwanted troubles by attempting to defame Dr. Mahtani, it can be said that these acts have backfired and Zambia Reports are no longer trusted among the citizens as well as foreign businesses. What more, there is also a case listed against Zambia Reports in the Lusaka High Court. Dr. Rajan Mahtani’s honesty and unbiased approach has survived numerous ruling parties in Zambia and it can be very well presumed that he will continue to thrive and grow with support of the Zambian nationals and his strong Biblical Principles.

Dr. Rajan Mahtani and the 2015 Election Results

Dr. MahtaniZambia is going to witness an important event on 20th January 2015 as the results of the on-going elections are scheduled on this very particular date. However, some conspirator’s group again went down to their usual shameful activities when targeted Dr. Rajan Mahtani who is the present chairman of the Finance Bank of Zambia. An article circulated in the portal of  the notorious ‘Zambia Reports’  claimed that Dr. Mahtani is in a fearful state as the results of the election can be disastrous for the empire the Mahtani is currently holding. But the truth is, Dr. Mahtani has nothing to fear as he is completely indifferent to the results of the election, as any honest and completely biased person would be. Also, it can be noted that the latest news is similar to other past news that were framed to denigrate Dr. Rajan Mahtani.

Dr. Rajan Mahtani has been successfully running the FBZ for last 20 years and with the current growth and development seen, it can be easily said that the steak will continue for a long time to come. During this tenure, Zambia has been through various polls, elections and changes. Nevertheless, FBZ has remainedunwither and it still one of the opex banks in Zambia with its operations helping Finance government and locals. It is common that some conspirators with ill-objectives are always trying to spread rumours for creating panic among Mahtani supporters as well as investors.

Dr. Mahtani has remained an honest businessman throughout his life and will continue to do so.  His prime interests include developing his company as well as Zambia. As such, Dr. Mahtani is least bothered about the election as well as political affairs to come and dedicate his time and effort to strengthen Zambia’s economy.

The life of Dr. Mahtani is based on following the biblical principles and he has remained faithful towards his principle as always. Dr. Rajan Mahtani will be indifferent towards any outcome of the election as his job is to help the poor and strengthen the economy of Zambia.

Dr. Rajan Mahtani confident of FBZ

The Finance Bank of Zambia has gone from strength to strength in the past 20 years. It has not only managed to attain the position of a perennial source of finance in Zambia, but has also offered numerous employment opportunities to the locals. The most recent development for FBZ has come in the form of its enlistment on the Lusaka Stock Exchange (LuSE). As per confirmed reports, FBZ will start its share trading operations by the April 2015.

Finance Bank of ZambiaThe Finance Bank of Zambia was earlier a private company. In September 2014, the same was converted into a public limited company whereby it became eligible to trade on the stock exchange. The motive behind this step is to float 25% of the shares of FBZ in the market with an intent to raise USD $250 million. The pioneer of this development, Dr. Rajan Mahtani, has worked very hard to bring a radical change in the banking sector of Zambia.

In a press conference arranged in November 2014, Dr. Mahtani hinted that his bank was looking for a dual listing mechanism whereby FBZ would be entitled to operate simultaneously on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange. The journey of FBZ has been full of ups and downs. It has not seen an appreciation in its value, but has also encountered various allegations in its name which included defamation on account of money laundering and illegal operation. However, it has never demotivated Dr. Rajan Mahtani to hinder his dedication.
