With his most recent declaration, Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema rose to a new level of prominence within this system of government. The president of Zambia said that his country’s administration intends to entirely repeal the death penalty statute on the unique occasion of Africa Day. The reception to this announcement was overwhelmingly enthusiastic across the country. A prominent business figure from Zambia named Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani became one of the announcement’s major backers. According to Dr.Rajan Mahtani, the death sentence is brutal, inhumane, and demeaning and offers no remedy for Zambia’s law and order. As a result, the president of Zambia’s decision is a positive one. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani went on to say that the practice is outdated and that most countries have already done away with it. African countries are increasingly abolishing the death penalty, thus it is about time Zambia took note and pushed for this legal improvement. Previous presidents of Zambia have strategically avoided the death penalty by pleading for compassion. None of these Presidents, however, has been able to make any real progress in bringing about a lasting transformation. As a result, Dr.Rajan Mahtani applauded the Zambian President’s choice and asserted that only someone who is compassionate, respects the basics of the “right to live,” as well as respects human rights and human dignity, will be able to make such a sane and wise choice.
Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani added his support for the president of Zambia’s decision by claiming that the death sentence is wrong in God’s view. The atonement made by Jesus Christ on the cross, according to the holy bible, covered the sins of everyone who trusted in him. According to the Bible, there was no justification for killing individuals because the “son of god” had already made up for their deaths. The Bible has also made it clear that only people who have never committed a sin are qualified to carry out executions. As a result, the president of Zambia’s decision is a positive one.
