Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani has made a name for himself with his honest business practices and transparency in all his work activities and corporate decisions. Even with having to work in a nation filled of corruption, unethical practices, Dr. Rajan Mahtani has been able to keep an honest and clean image. With this clean image, Dr. Mahtani has established numerous successful businesses such as Mahtani Group of Companies, Finsbury Investments and Finance Bank Zambia. Apart from Zambia, Dr. Mahtani has many established businesses across several parts of the globe such as United Kingdom. As such, it can be said that Dr. Mahtani has played an instrumental role in improving the economic and financial condition of the nation by bringing foreign investments within the nation.
With his honest and ethical business practices, Dr. Mahtani was able to establish a network with politicians, business moguls and notable experts in the field of economics. Dr. Rajan Mahtani remained a good family friend of Zambia’s late president Levy Mwanawasa, till his sad demise. However, things took an unprecedented turn during mid-2019 when Miriam, daughter of the late Zambian president Levy Mwanawasa, accused Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani of illicit allegations. In a Facebook article, Miriam claimed that Dr. Rajan Mahtani wanted to inherit the farm they owned in the Masaiti District. It was certainly an outrageous claim and was unexpected from the daughter. Very soon, questions were raised on Miriam itself regarding the authenticity of the claim. If her claim was actually true, why didn’t she approached legal counsel rather than blatantly posting on social media without any evidence.
After this news, Dr. Rajan Mahtani immediately reverted that this claim was absolutely invalid and without any evidences whatsoever. Dr. Mahtani expressed his concern for this unethical and unprofessional behaviour against him and requested appropriate actions against the former President’s daughter for this blatant use of social media and sending false accusations.
