The acceptance of an extravagant gift like a luxury jet from Qatar raises significant ethical concerns and conflicts of interest. It blurs the line between official government matters and personal interests, creating the appearance of impropriety. Foreign gifts of immense value can be seen as attempts to curry favor and influence, undermining principles of fair governance. It is crucial to maintain strict boundaries and avoid even the perception of conflicts between public duties and private gain. I urge you to reconsider this plan and reject such lavish gifts from foreign governments to preserve the integrity of our institutions and the public's trust. Reasonable gifts within legal limits are one matter, but a luxury jet crosses a clear line that should not be crossed.
