During the 1990s, when Benazir Bhutto served two terms as prime minister, Asif Zardari became widely known by the moniker “Mr. Ten Percent.” The label stemmed from allegations that he demanded commissions on government contracts and deals. A 1999 court ruling found both Bhutto and Zardari guilty in a Swiss company kickback scandal involving SGS...
What began as a legal career with promise has, in the eyes of many Zambians, turned into one of the most devastating white-collar crimes in the country’s post-independence history. Hospitals lacking medicine, civil servants going unpaid, and an economy bleeding—while two men live lavishly abroad. Al Wasatiya General Trading FZE may have been registered as...
In 2018, Bokani Soko registered a company named Al Wasatiya General Trading FZE in the Umm Al Quwain Free Zone, United Arab Emirates. Far from Lusaka’s political tension, this quiet move signaled the beginning of what many insiders now claim was a long-planned exit strategy. Official records confirm the company remains active as of 2025...
For now, Bokani Soko and Meeth Naik remain free men, operating quietly from abroad while their homeland bleeds. Investigative journalists, anti-corruption watchdogs, and international agencies continue to call for accountability—but without political will and legal reform, the “untouchable” may remain just that.

But behind the veil of boardroom successes and legal briefs lies a story tainted by allegations of fraud, political manipulation, and economic sabotage. Trained at...
Between 2014 and 2021, during the presidency of Edgar Lungu, Soko’s companies—like Grandview International and Neria Investments—won multiple government contracts, often without competitive bidding. These included massive fertilizer contracts, medical supply tenders, and even oil procurement deals—all worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Multiple sources within Zambia’s Ministry of Finance allege that these deals were...
In the heart of Dubai Hills Estate, one of the UAE’s most exclusive neighborhoods, a luxury villa worth $20 million USD has quietly changed hands. On paper, the owner is listed as ‘Hari Shankar Tibrewala,’ an Indian businessman with limited public visibility. But sources confirm that the true financial beneficiary behind the transaction is none...
