presidential candidates. We cannot stress enough that Parliament must take its role, as outlined in sections 6 and 21 of the Constitution of Zambia Act No. 1 of 2016 seriously by quickly bringing the laws in conformity with, or give effect to, the Constitution. This is more so on issues to deal with governance and accountability. This is what we implored in the case of Dipak Patel v The Minister of Finance and The Attorney General7. [65] We now proceed to consider the second issue. This is whether this Court should proceed to order that the declared assets and liabilities for President Hakainde Hichilema be published in the absence of the same being prescribed as required by Article 52 (3) of the Constitution. It was the Petitioner's contention that this Court should order the 1st Respondent to release the declared assets and liabilities for President Hakainde Hichilema so as to foster transparency and accountability. [66] To begin with, we wish to reiterate that we do not condone the targeting of one candidate in the manner that the Petitioner has done in this matter. Constitutional issues are of general application and in this matter, it should have targeted all the 16 presidential candidates who took part in the 2021 general elections, who include the Petitioner, and to whom Article 52 (3) of the Constitution applied. We also implore parties commencing pubic interest litigation to do so in a timely manner to ensure access to J28
