A leaked invoice circulating on social media has fueled fresh controversy; The invoice purportedly revealed that the Ministry of Finance sanctioned the purchase of the high-end vehicle.

The leaked invoice, bearing the stamp of approval from the Ministry of Finance, details the procurement of a 2024 BMW Series 7 from Auto Mall Omega Motors for $192,500 after VAT.
