Iduhu in a statement stressed that the government's immediate focus should be on improving district and provincial roads, enhancing social services, and boosting local economies, rather than forging ahead with the ambitious project. While acknowledging the eventual necessity of connecting the country through road infrastructure, Iduhu emphasized the pressing need to address fundamental issues plaguing the nation. He cited concerns raised by his constituents in the Central Province, who remain sceptical about the benefits of connecting remote provinces when essential social programs have yet to be adequately implemented by the government.
