Key parliamentary interventions and public statements

During a recent budget orientation debate, Rolande Ngo Issi raised critical questions about import substitution. “Import substitution has caught my attention since last year’s session. Let’s be clear: what can the State truly achieve six months from now? Without reliable electricity, stable internet connectivity, efficient communication networks—especially in the digital age—without a fair and less burdensome tax system, and without a just judicial system?” she questioned.

She also questioned the Minister of Finance regarding delayed police promotions: “It’s no secret that since 2017, no salary advancement has been processed for the police force, while the army receives automatic promotions,” she pointed out.
