"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this issue of flying First Class or Business Class makes somebody to live beyond his means. When this person goes on retirement at the age of 60 years after serving the Government, what happens to him? This person has gotten used to flying a particular class and it will be very difficult to adjust to life outside. Therefore, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker let us make people get used to what is available on the land. What is it that somebody is going to work with? Let not somebody who is in a senior position try to implore that he is living within the means and yet he is living beyond his means. The issue of State officers flying Business Class and others Economy Class leads to corruption. Air travel agents would want to fight for those who are interested in using the Business Class. As such, institutions such as the central Government will definitely want to be coerced to make it possible that they use these travel agents to get more income for themselves. If we can cap the issue of classes between flights such that whoever is flying to a particular destination, as long as he is a civil servant, senior State officer or a public officer, it should be given an equal and universal position, it will curb that competitive fight between the two competing agents. I support the Motion as amended."
