René Emmanuel Sadi (born 21 December 1948[1]) is a Cameroonian politician who has served in the government of Cameroon as Minister of Territorial Administration since 2011.
[4] Speaking to The Post prior to the July 2007 parliamentary election, Sadi expressed satisfaction with his party's mobilization and explained that he was delivering Biya's message, which "dwells on hope and encouragement", on the campaign trail.
He said that the RDPC's priorities included electoral reform, decentralization of decision-making to the local level, measures to promote good governance and fight corruption, the development of the economy and cooperation with the private sector, and improvements in education and public health.
[8] Sadi was regarded as a powerful figure; unlike the rest of the political elite, he was reputedly "strong enough to challenge presidential decisions, and even ... disobey such directives".
[11][12] Following Biya's re-election, he appointed Sadi to the important position of Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralization on 9 December 2011, while also removing him from his post as RDPC Secretary-General.
