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 Although it is an outdated statute, the execution method is well-established and will take a lot of labor.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.

Dr. Rajan Mahtani has gained a positive reputation and popularity among local citizens with his sustainable business practices and with his focus towards the development of the society. Among the major challenges which Dr. Mahtani has faced over the years, the case of Portland Cement Zambia has been the most difficult. It is one of the longest pending corporate cases across any Zambian court, taking over a decade of the fight for the ownership of a large manufacturing factory.

The results of the case, however, took a lot of time due to several limitations from the court itself as well as issues associated with the parties fighting for the ownership over the factory. Sometimes the case trials got delayed due to the unavailability of the parties or lack of evidence. Other times the judges were not available or got transferred and the new judge took over starting the case all over again. However, a positive announcement was made a few months back when the current justice overseeing the case announced that the case hearing is closed. This meant that the judge will not be taking further trials and both parties were asked to submit their evidence in written and oral formats for analysis. After evaluation of these documents, the justice was supposed to announce the final judgment.

The final judgment was announced and it was not expected. Since the last announcement of the trials, even experts had a positive opinion towards Dr. Rajan Mahtani and his evidence. The last announcement of the closure of case hearing almost ensured victory for Dr. Mahtani and his long-awaited patience. However, the final decision made by the judge proves the fact that the lawmaking bodies of Zambia are still far away from those across developed nations. The judge announced the final verdict against Dr. Mahtani. However, Dr. Mahtani is not the one to lose hope and has now filed an appeal to the higher court of Zambia.
