A significant development in Cameroonian politics sees the Parti Camerounais pour la Réconciliation Nationale (PCRN), under Cabral Libii, gaining a foothold in national governance alongside the dominant Rassemblement Démocratique du Peuple Camerounais (RDPC). This shift is highlighted by the presidential decree issued on June 2, 2026, which formally named the Honorable Rolande Ngo Issi, a PCRN Deputy representing Nyong and Kellé, as a new member of the Superior Council of Magistracy.

Among other notable individuals joining the esteemed council are Sali Dahirou, former Minister of Public Service, and Deputy Soppo Toute Marlyse from Wouri, representing the RDPC. Also appointed are Claude Francis Moukouri, previously Vice President of the Special Criminal Court (TCS), alongside Albert Ekono Nna, Engelbert Bengono, Mekoulou Cunégonde Christine Ngotty, and Roger Sockeng, among others.

Born in Yaoundé on January 9, 1981, Rolande Ngo Issi holds multiple influential roles. Beyond her recent appointment to the Superior Council of Magistracy, a position granted by President Paul Biya, she serves as a Deputy in the National Assembly. Her leadership extends to being the Deputy Secretary-General of the Network of Cameroonian Women Parliamentarians. Within her party, the PCRN, she is a national steering committee member and the Secretary-General for the Centre region’s regional delegation.

Since April 2016, she has also presided over the National Consumers Movement (MNC).

Her academic background includes a Master’s degree in Child Psychology from the University of Yaoundé I – Nkoa Ekele, a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of Yaoundé II – Soa, and a diploma from the École Normale Supérieure (ENS).

Rolande Ngo Issi has a strong public profile, with thousands following her on social media platforms. She actively uses these channels to inspire and promote entrepreneurship among Cameroonian youth.

Her recent contributions include a powerful intervention during the budget orientation debate. She critically questioned the state’s capacity six months after its initial declarations, highlighting persistent challenges: «Import substitution is a term that caught my attention last year during the same exercise. So let’s speak plainly, what can the state truly achieve six months later? Without electrical energy, without stable internet connectivity and good quality communication networks, especially in this era of digital growth, not to mention a multifaceted and suffocating tax system, and without fair justice?» These were her pointed inquiries during the discourse.

Furthermore, she directly addressed the Minister of Finance regarding the unresolved issue of police officers not receiving their salary advancements since 2017. She emphasized the disparity, stating, «It certainly does not escape you that since 2017, no salary advancement has been processed for the Police, while in the army, it is automatic.»

Prior to and outside her political career, Rolande Ngo Issi is recognized as an enterprising individual. She works as a personal development coach and has dedicated 11 years to teaching in rural communities.
