    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the Motion. What has killed KP is poor leadership - that is poor management and corruption. I am in the Public Investment Committee on Commercial Affairs and Energy, where we oversight KP. You cannot imagine the losses that the company is making. It is just the other day when they were making profits. No nation can do without electricity. Increasing the prices of electricity in a nation increases the prices of goods and services. If we increase the cost of electricity, the manufacturers will increase the prices of goods to compensate for the high cost of electricity. That is why the cost of unga is high. This goes to any other good that is being manufactured, because electricity is used in every industry. The cost of fuel also depends on the cost of electricity because the pumps use electricity and hence, the cost of fuel must go up. The cost of electricity must not only be reduced in this country, electricity should be provided for free like in other countries. Remember, when the late Muammar Gaddafi was the President of Libya, electricity was free. There is a country called Turkmenistan in Central Asia. It is bordered by the Caspian Sea and the Karakum Desert, where electricity is free. I am mentioning the bordering features to justify what I am saying.
