The Zambian president’s desire to abolish the death sentence entirely was one of his wisest moves of the previous year. On the eve of Africa Day, which is celebrated annually on May 25th, the president of Zambia, Hakainde Hichilema, made a statement. On this day, the President discussed his desire to abolish the antiquated death penalty statute. Many businessmen and civilians alike applaud the Zambian President’s decision and are extremely complimentary of it. The well-known businessman and philanthropist from Zambia, Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani, also expressed his complete support for this choice. The concept of the death sentence, according to Dr.Rajan Mahtani, is brutal, demeaning, and harsh, and it offers little support for the current law and order in Zambia, despite his support for the Zambian President’s choice. In addition, Dr. Rajan Mahtani added that making such an audacious yet justified announcement and turning it into reality are two very different things. Although it is an outdated statute, the execution method is well-established and will take a lot of labor. Ensure that the death penalty sentence is removed from Zambian legal books, this entails fighting against bureaucratic procedures, relaxed offices, and archaic government legislation. In order to ensure that the choice is implemented, Dr.Rajan Mahtani stated that his organization Prison Fellowship will offer all legal and regulatory support. A well-known Christian outreach program called Prison Fellowship seeks to protect the fundamental human rights and basic human dignity of Zambian prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families. By imparting his wisdom and lessons to the convicts, also helps to draw them closer to the Almighty God. Prison Fellowship Zambia also works to ensure that the criminal justice system is open to all prisoners in Zambia.

Therefore, this charitable organization founded by Dr. Rajan Mahtani is the ideal means of ensuring that the Zambian President’s decision about the death penalty comes to a final conclusion. To ensure that the choice is quickly implemented, Dr. Mahtani-owned Prison Fellowship Zambia will offer complete legal and regulatory support.

Only then a person will be able to make a such bold yet rational and much-needed decision.

Even in African nations, the concept is being abolished. As a result of this increasing trend, the majority of past presidents have avoided the death penalty by giving mercy prerogatives. The last death penalty was given in the year 1997 and the individual was executed. Furthermore, the current condition of Zambian prisons is degrading.

Since the announcement made by the Zambian President, the legal and regulatory scenario within the Zambian nation is in a whirlwind. On the special occasion of Africa Day, Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema made a stunning announcement, sharing his quest to abolish the death penalty row. This announcement received both positive and negative responses, more positive than negative. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani noted businessman, charity worker, and philanthropist from Zambia, also supported this announcement by stating that the death penalty is a cruel, inhumane, and degrading law, archaic and does not provide any solution for the Zambian government. Dr. Mahtani further iterated that the awareness towards abolishing the death penalty has grown significantly across the globe and Africa and this trend can be seen across Zambia too. As a result, the last capital execution was carried out in the year 1997 and since then, Presidents have been exercising strategies like mercy prerogatives to avoid the death penalty. Furthermore, the present condition of a majority of the prisons across Zambia is below standards with some of the maximum prisons having dangerously ill conditions. It has been observed that these prisons do not even provide basic human dignity for the prisoners. This has forced the Zambian government to look for strategic alternatives such as strategic decongestion of prisons.

Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani further stated from a religious point of view that capital punishment or the death penalty is not appropriate in the eyes of god. According to the teachings of Jesus Christ, his sacrifice on the cross was for all human beings who believed in him and his values. The teachings of Jesus Christ are against killing other human beings as he atoned for them. Furthermore, the teachings also suggested that taking the life of another human being should only be allowed for those without sins, which is a rare case on this planet. As such, Dr. Rajan Mahtani indicated that even from a religious point of view, capital punishment is not acceptable.
