Prior to entering politics, Isikiel was a businessman and the manager of Suapi Management Consultant Limited (SMC).^[3] He was an unsuccessful candidate at the 2007 election.^[4] He was elected to the National Parliament at the 2012 election as a People's National Congress candidate, defeating MP Koni Iguan.^[5] He was appointed Minister for Housing and Urban Development in the post-election Cabinet reshuffle.^[6] He supported the Markham Valley Oil Palm Project, which had been initiated under his predecessor, and claimed early success in gaining funding for two regional roads and a vocational training centre, with and a third road following in December.^[7]^[8]

In September 2012, he suspended the managing director and board chairman of the National Housing Corporation pending an investigation over alleged misappropriation.^[9] In April 2013, he funded a double classroom and two school dormitories for the Markham Valley High School.^[10] In June 2013, he announced that the National Housing Corporation debt had been cut from K30 million to K19 million under his replacement leadership, as the organisation underwent an administrative overhaul.^[11] In May 2014, he announced a 40,000-house project at Durand Farm outside Port Moresby to relieve housing shortages in the capital.^[12] A K1.4 billion loan to fund the project was attacked by the opposition as being a burden on the economy.^[13]

Isikiel publicly feuded with the Police Association of Papua New Guinea and senior police in July 2014 after calling for the arrest of "rogue" police investigating a corruption case linked to Prime Minister O'Neill; he claimed the "rogue" police had "colluded with outside forces in an attempt to discredit and incriminate the Prime Minister"..^[14]^[15]^[16] He also clashed with the Manufacturers Council of Papua New Guinea in November 2014 over a proposal that "certain building materials" be exempted from import duty to make housing cheaper.^[17]^[18] In March 2016, he announced a 500-house project to house public servants outside Kundiawa to relieve housing shortages in that area.^[19] He faced further problems later in 2016 with illegal sales of government housing and controversy surrounding evictions by the National Housing Corporation.^[20]^[21]
