a victim of vicious
conspiracy

2. UNPD wants to state that the

3. 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.

4. As the first contact of the criminal justice system, the police are expected to
be impartial in the manner they discharge their duties and in the treatment of
citizens, unfortunately former Finance Bank Chairman, Dr. Rajan Mahtani
appears to be a victim of a vicious conspiracy by a group of people.

5. Corruption is a major challenge that
must be fought for this country to
see development, however there
seems to be an organized plan by
some individuals that want to settle
political battles by using the state to
discredit and harass Dr. Rajan
Mahtani. This is totally unacceptable
and against the spirit of one Zambia
one nation.

6. The state must not be used to settle
political scores by persons that have
issues with Dr. Mahtani or the post
Newspaper.

7. 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.

8. There are a lot of criminals going
about doing their business with their
heads high just because they are in
good books with those in power.
