Critical support to Zambian President by Dr.Rajan Mahtani

The Zambian government decided to take the necessary measures at last after decades of avoiding it. It came from the current president of Zambia, Hakainde Hichilema, who made a salient declaration on the eve of Africa Day, which is observed annually on May 25. On this day, the president of Zambia declared his intention to remove the death sentence from the country’s legal system entirely. The President has received several gratifying comments and compliments since making this declaration. Zambian-born Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani is a well-known philanthropist, entrepreneur, and venture capitalist. In addition to Zambia and Africa, he is renowned for his prosperous enterprises in other nations, such as the United Kingdom. Dr. Rajan Mahtani provided additional support for this choice by arguing that the death sentence is harsh and barbaric and should be abolished. Dr. Mahtani used instances from international law to illustrate how most countries forbid the death sentence. The abolishment of the death penalty is currently a hot topic, even in Africa. Therefore, it was imperative that the Zambian government act now. Nevertheless, Dr. Mahtani applauded the Zambian President’s choice, saying that only someone who values the “right to life,” who loves God, and who wants universal access to basic human rights would be able to make such a challenging, audacious, yet honourable choice. By avoiding the death penalty and granting mercy prerogatives, previous presidents have avoided taking responsibility.Therefore, the choice made by the present president of Zambia is a positive step.

Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani, who endorsed the president of Zambia’s declaration, added that it is one thing to make such a statement and quite another to devise a plan to ensure that this pronouncement quickly becomes a reality. This course will call for considerable legislation changes, political persuasion, and smooth operation with few obstacles. In order to make this statement a reality, Dr. Rajan Mahtani owned Prison Fellowship Zambia will offer all legal and regulatory support.
