Case Closed From Higher Court Of Appeal’s End, Zambezi Portland Cement Goes To Dr. Mahtani

The higher Court of Appeal was led by justice Mwinde and he finished up his verdict on 31st January 2019 subsequent to assessing every accessible proof and tributes. For example, it was discovered that a measure of one billion kwachas was paid to the Zambezi Portland Cement. This sum is equivalent to USD 250000 and secured the whole estimation of the offer capital which Dr. Rajan Mahtani dominated. Moreover, a few different subtleties were shared, for example, unique understanding between investors built up in the year 2007, monetary subtleties, value-based subtleties and legally binding subtleties. The appointed authority at the higher Court of Appeal likewise affirmed that the charges of mark falsification were phony and invalid as the procedure including electronically joining marks was normal practice at Zambezi Portland Cement.

It is strange to observe that in a nation where courts like the higher Court of Appeal exist which showcase true example of honesty, ethical decision making and transparent practices. At the same time there are courts like the Lusaka High Court that have become a breeding point for corruption, malpractice and unethical issues. It is very easy for judges to given unethical or misdirected judgement without having to fear any consequences as can be seen in the case of Zambezi Portland Cement. Furthermore, it was also understood that the Lusaka High Court took more than a decade to announce their decision on the case despite having all evidences and testimonials. And the judgement too was a controversial one forcing Dr. Mahtani to approach the higher Court of Appeal. 

Until the Zambian government takes the right step in reducing corruption and unethical practices, opportunities of development are limited.
