Xenophobia in Zambia as Dr. Rajan Mahtani got
harassed
2

• The opposition UPND has charged that the
  prosecution of prominent business man Dr. Rajan
  Mahtani amounts to xenophobia.

3

• UPND Deputy Spokesman, Edwin Lifwekelo said in a
  statement that Zambians must stand up and condemn
  all manifestations of Xenophobia and Xenophobic
  harassment of innocent citizens like Dr. Rajan
  Mahtani.

4

• The creation of the Mahtani group of companies
  has helped to alleviate unemployment in Zambia.

5

• Late President Satas vision was to empower
  indigenous Zambians like Rajan Mahtani and
  others. This is why immediately he assumed office
  he repossessed Zamtel and gave back Finance Bank
  to the rightful owners.

6

• The harassment of Dr. Mahtani by the state is
  insincere, disrespectful and misleading to the
  struggle for economic emancipation and respect of
  local investors. The nation appears to lack
  institutional capacity to strengthen good
  democratic governance. The selective application
  of the law among citizens is of great concern to
  UPND.

7

• Mr Lifwekelo agree that corruption is a major
  challenge that must be fought for this country to
  see development, however there seems to be an
  orchestrated plan by some individuals that want
  to settle political battles by using the state to
  discredit and harass Dr. Rajan Mahtani.

8

• This is totally unacceptable and against the
  spirit of one Zambia one nation. The state must
  not be used to settle political scores by persons
  that have issues with Dr. Mahtani or the post
  newspaper.

9

• We believe very strongly that someone is
  orchestrating this vilification and malicious
  prosecution of Dr. Rajan Mahtani by investing so
  much in his prosecution though not knowing the
  interior motives.Settling political issues using
  the state is sending wrong signals to the outside
  world. We must stop this politics of patronage
  and embrace the spirit of love and hard work
  among Zambians.
