The purchase of vehicles by the National Assembly, a constitutionally recognized and legitimately elected body, can be justified as part of their operational requirements.
However, when it comes to offices that are not constitutionally established, such as the Office of the First Lady, it becomes challenging to justify the allocation of billions of funds in an economically-strained environment.
Questions may arise regarding the legitimacy of the Office of the First Lady, as it is not an elected or constitutionally recognized position.
