Cekeshe also lied in court when he said”

“We admit that it is often difficult and a challenge to strike a balance between forgiveness and justice.

“As a country, we are proud of our correctional system, which aims not only to punish, but also to rehabilitate perpetrators, protect the public, promote social responsibility and develop perpetrators in such a way that they do not reinstate them. does not commit crime, ”the minister said.
