According to President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA, his government will keep recommending changes to laws that are outdated and detrimental to the progress of the nation.
According to President HICHILEMA, numerous innocent persons were sentenced to death as a form of lifelong punishment under outdated legislation like the death penalty, which was abolished.
He asserts that the death penalty should be abolished to advance human rights.
President HICHILEMA adds that in order to uphold human dignity, leaders must muster the fortitude to act honorably.
When he convened a special luncheon for stakeholders today at the State House to commemorate the abolition of the death sentence, he said this.
