Significant changes and improvements can be seen within Zambian law in the past few years. One of these changes was announced recently by Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema. He announced at the auspicious occasion of Africa day that he plans to completely abolish the death penalty practice from the Zambian legal system. This declaration was met with extensive support from Zambia and outside, including businessman and philanthropist Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani. Dr. Rajan Mahtani, who's the founder and chairman of the Prison Fellowship Zambia (PFZ), wholeheartedly supported this declaration. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani is known for his several philanthropic and charitable sports across Zambia spread over several decades. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani established the Prison Fellowship Zambia (PFZ), a Christian Outreach Program installed to bring the teachings and learnings from Jesus Christ to the Prisoners.
Dr. Rajan Mahtani introduced his voice towards the decision from the Zambia President from a political in addition to a spiritual point of view. In a political perspective, Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani highlighted the reality that the last time death penalty was given turned into in the year 1997 under President Chilruba and the person was executed. Since then, Presidents were tactfully keeping off the death penalty with the aid of the usage of mercy pleas. While those are all noble causes, none of these past Presidents have actually labored closer to the whole removal of this archaic, degrading, cruel and inhumane practice from the Zambia legal and regulatory system. Also, those answerable for execution must themselves be freed from sin. As such, the practice of the demise penalty makes no experience and need to be abolished completely.
