    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to join other Members who have actually decided to support the Motion but, at the same time, questioning the way KQ is being run. For sure, KQ is our brand. Wherever it goes, KQ represents this country. However, we cannot spend a lot of money on reviving KQ now and then. It makes us to look like we are not considering the man who works hard to pay the taxes so that this country can run. As other members have said, we want to make sure that if we are going to exempt KQ from paying the taxes, are they going to work hard so that they can come to the level of competing with the other airlines? This is because we want to make sure that the little money that people of this country are struggling to give through taxes, we are utilizing it in a very positive and right way. Moreover, we direct that money to where we can get benefit back to our people. We want to tell KQ that they need to wake up. This is because this issue of being exempted now and then has become too much and has become a routine to this House that we have been supporting lazy institutions which are not working hard to ensure that they get profit in their services. As much as we want to see KQ on its feet again, we need to ensure that, as we exempt them, they can report how much they are getting, how they are working on, and how they are improving. This is so that as we give them that exemption, the country can benefit also. With those few remarks, I support."
