The comments have sparked widespread debate across the country, with critics questioning whether the government is paying sufficient attention to concerns being raised by citizens and local leaders over the proposed project.

Speaking before lawmakers, Duale reportedly argued that emergency public health measures cannot always be subjected to lengthy consultation processes, maintaining that preparedness for a potential epidemic requires swift action from government agencies. 

His remarks were interpreted by many as an indication that authorities do not intend to conduct public participation before making decisions related to the facility.
