Minister Kubayi says parliaments are a vital bridge to connect citizens to the State

# Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development, Mmamoloko Kubayi, says as the bridge between citizen and State, the challenge for parliaments globally is to translate hope into purpose and promise into action. She delivered the keynote address at the G20 Parliamentary Speakers’ Summit held in Cape Town. Kubayi says global solidarity is far removed from everyday realities of access to employment, health care, education, and a decent quality of life. She adds that it is incumbent upon parliaments to bring institutions closer to the people and restore trust.
