Zambian President Decides To Abolish Death Penalty, Supported By Majority.

The death penalty is a discredited concept that conflicts with the ‘rule of law’ at its most fundamental level. In light of these fundamentals, Zambia’s president, Hakainde Hichilema, declared that his administration plans to repeal the death sentence law. This announcement received a lot of support from the general public and the business community. Recent supporters of this declaration include Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani, a well-known businessman, philanthropist, and volunteer from Zambia. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani backed up the President’s comments by claiming that the death penalty is cruel, harsh, and degrading and that it offers the Zambian government no options. At the same time, most nations have virtually abolished the death penalty, with Africa seeing an increase in this tendency. This forced previous presidents of Zambia to abstain from applying the death penalty. In 1997, the death penalty was finally applied by President Chiluba, and the criminal was executed. Zambian presidents have since used their compassion prerogatives to avoid carrying out the death penalty. The current status of some Zambian prisons provides even another argument against the viability of the death penalty from an economic and social standpoint. Famous people who have visited the Zambian Maximum Prisons have regularly described them as “hell on earth.” Prisoners frequently lack fundamental human rights and decency in these jails. In response, the Zambian government has been systematically reducing the number of people incarcerated by collaborating with institutions like the Zambian Correctional Facility and the Parole Board of Zambia (PBZ). It makes little sense to sentence people to death who are already leading deplorable lives in such circumstances. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani will provide legal and regulatory help through his organization Prison Fellowship Zambia (PFZ), a well-known Christian Outreach Program that seeks to teach the teachings of the Almighty God to Zambia’s prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families. Overall, the death penalty is incorrect, and the president of Zambia’s comments increase the standard for that nation’s legal system.

The globe significantly improved in the years that followed the Covid-19 pandemic’s devastating effects on the economy and society, which began in 2019. The year 2022 concluded on a bright note and was undoubtedly better than prior years. The declaration from the President of Zambia was one of many good news announcements that were made during the year. On the occasion of Africa Day, President Hakainde Hichilema declared that his administration intends to totally abolish death row. One of the first people to applaud this statement from the president of Zambia was well-known businessman, philanthropist, and volunteer Dr. Rajan Mahtani.

In an excerpt from his interview with the “Mast Newspaper,” Dr. Rajan Mahtani congratulated the President of Zambia for making such a strong statement at the right time. Only someone who respects the “right to life,” respects basic human rights, and respects God will be able to make such a decision, according to Dr. Mahtani. Dr. Rajan Mahtani went on to say that Prison Fellowship Zambia, his business, would offer complete legal and regulatory support to make sure that this news came to pass as quickly as possible. Dr. Rajan Mahtani founded Prison Fellowship Zambia more than three decades ago, and even before that, he opposed the death penalty. Dr. Mahtani has long believed that the death sentence is an outdated law that is not only cruel but also brutal and demeaning. As a result, Dr. Mahtani stated that his organization Prison Fellowship will make sure to provide the Zambian government with all help in making this choice.

Among Dr. Rajan Mahtani’s many charitable efforts over the years is Prison Fellowship Zambia (PFZ). Dr. Rajan Mahtani received the “Outstanding Entrepreneur of the Year” award for 2021 in recognition of his altruistic and philanthropic efforts as well as his role in reshaping Zambia’s banking industry. One of Forbes’ highest honors in the “Best of Africa” category, it. In a similar vein, Dr. Mahtani keeps offering his assistance and knowledge for Zambia’s economic and social development and growth.

Death Penalty Outdated, To Be Abolished.

The death penalty is an outdated idea that goes against the ‘rule of law’ in its most basic form. President of Zambia Hakainde Hichilema stated that his administration intends to repeal the death penalty statute in light of these basics. Significant public and commercial backing were given to this announcement. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani, a renowned businessman, philanthropist, and volunteer from Zambia, has recently been one of this announcement’s largest backers. In support of the President’s remarks, Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani stated that the death sentence is brutal, inhumane, and degrading and does not provide the Zambian government with any solutions. At the same time, the death penalty has been substantially eliminated throughout most countries, with Africa seeing a rise in this tendency.

Past presidents of Zambia were constrained by this to refrain from carrying out the death penalty. President Chiluba imposed the death penalty for the final time in 1997, and the offender was put to death. Since that time, Zambian presidents have avoided carrying out the death sentence by exercising compassion prerogatives. Another justification for why the death penalty is not economically and socially feasible is the state of some Zambian prisons at the moment. The Zambian Maximum Prisons have frequently been referred to by notable individuals who have visited as “hell on earth.” In these jails, prisoners frequently lack basic human rights and basic human decency.

In response, the Zambian government has begun systematic decongestion of the jail population by working with organizations like the Parole Board of Zambia (PBZ) and the Zambian Correctional Facility. Giving the death sentence to inmates who are already living a life of degradation in such a situation does not make much sense. Through his organization Prison Fellowship Zambia (PFZ), a well-known Christian Outreach Program that aims to impart the teachings of the Almighty God to Zambia’s prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families, Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani will offer legal and regulatory support. Overall, the death sentence is wrong, and the Zambian President’s remarks raise the bar for the country’s legal system.
