A top lawyer has blasted police and taxmen for launching a mob-handed raid on his offices – branding it a blatant attempt to shut him up. Kadzipatike, who doubles as director of legal affairs for opposition party MCP, says the raid was supposedly over alleged tax issues – but reckons the taxman went about it all wrong. “I thought if they had tax issues with me, the best way was to engage me,” he fumed. “The first option for a taxman should be to collect tax and not to have taxpayers imprisoned and their businesses disrupted.” “We have electronic backup for all the files and where need be, we are going to be photocopying their files from the Courts.”
