Dimba has specifically told the Ministry of Justice to bring the bill to parliament that will support the abolishment of death penalty. He said the sentence infringes on human rights and is unconstitutional, among others.<\/p>\n

Dimba said committee\u2019s research showed that death penalty does not reduce the crimes that attract such punishment and that no president has ever signed for death warrant.<\/p>\n
