7 | Ngouan clarifies, nevertheless, that he is far from being opposed to the government of President Alassane Ouattara - but that it is time to deliver the changes that were promised: | Notsindrian'i Ngouan anefa fa tsy hoe mankahala ny governemantan'ny filoha A. Ouattara akory izy saingy kosa fotoana izao hampiharana ireo fiovàna nampanantenaina: |
8 | In a time of war, of attacks, of attempts to destabilize the country, I would be the first to defend the Ouattara regime, which is a symbol of the victory of democracy over dictatorship. | Mandritra ny fotoanan'ny ady, fanafihana, na fiezahana hanozongozona ny firenena dia izaho no ho voalohany hiaro ny fitondran'i Ouattara, izay mari-pamantarana ny nandresen'ny demaokrasia ny jadona. |
9 | But during stable periods I will attack this regime with the same energy. | Saingy amin'ny fotoana maha-tony dia angovon-kery mitovy ihany no entiko manakiana io fitondrana io. |
10 | I will not cease to criticize it so that it gives Ivorians what it promised them - that is, change. | Tsy hitsahatra ny hanakiana azy azo mba hanolorany ho an'ny Ivoariana ny zavatra nampanantenainy dia ny fiovàna izany. |
11 | I know that the president can do a a great deal of good for this country and that is why I will not cease to ask him for still more, for still better [..] | Fantatro fa afaka manao zavatra tsara betsaka ho an'ity firenena ity ny PR ka izany no antony tsy hitsaharako mangataka misimisy kokoa hatrany aminy, tsaratsara kokoa [..] |
12 | Ouattara, you have thus been warned all your faults and errors, as well as those of your government, will be severely punished. | Ouattara, dia efa naheno ianao fa ireo hadisoana rehetra nataonao sy ny governemantanao dia hosaziana henjana dia henjana. |
13 | Know that much is expected of you on the issue of multiple public office and appointment-holders. | Fantaro fa efa andrasana fatratra ianareo amin'ity resaka fampivangongoana tafahoatra ny toerana sy fe-potoam-piasàna ity. |
14 | The netizens have also launched a petition to make politicians more sensitive to the issue. | Ireo mpikirakira aterineto dia nandefa ihany koa fanangonan-tsonia iray mba hanentanana ireo mpanao politika mikasika io resaka io. |
15 | On Twitter, the hashtag #nonaucumul has been adopted by several Ivorian Twitter users to explain why multiple office-holding is harmful to the nation's future: | Ao amin'ny Twitter, noraisin'ireo ivoariana marobe mpampiasa azy ny tenifototra #nonaucumul mba hanazavany ny antony maha-loza mitatao ny fanangonam-pahefana ho an'ny hoavin'ny firenena : |
16 | @Lord225: One does not build a strong nation by granting responsbility for all apsects of its development to an exclusive circle #civ2010 #nonaucumul | @Lord225: Tsy hisy firenena matanjaka haorina amin'ny fanankinana ny endri-pampandrosoana rehetra tokony ho azy aminà vondron'olona vitsivitsy #civ2010 #nonaucumul |
17 | @sanders225: If you are a member of parliament, let someone else be mayor. | @sanders225: Raha solombavambahoaka ianao, aleo ho hafa no ben'ny tanàna. |
18 | Don't go blocking his path #nonaucumul | Aza bahanana ny làlany #nonaucumul |
19 | Thomas Kobenan Tah, a leader of the PDCI [Democratic Party of Côte d'Ivoire], explains his position on the issue and why it is important not to permit parliamentarians to hold multiple offices - particularly in the Ivorian context: | Thomas Kobenan Tah, mpitarika iray ao amin'ny PDCI, dia manazava ny toerana raisiny manoloana ity resaka ity sy ny maha-zava-dehibe ny resaka tsy fanangonana fe-potoam-piasàna, indrindra fa amin'ny toe-draharaha ivoariana : |
20 | If we strive to make the governance of our state institutions more akin to a process of collective deliberation that is inclusive of people who are not officially engaged in any of the three formal branches (legislative, judicial or executive) and to impose rules on the conduct of political campaigns (including pre-selection campaigns) with equitable opportunities for contending electoral contests, the more our system will be fair and commendable to republics like ours. | Raha toa isika hanao fotsiny izay hitovian'ny fitantanana ny Fanjakantsika aminà fiaraha-mandray fanapahan-kevitra iraisana izay mahatafiditra koa an'ireo olona tsy manana fifamatorana akory na amin'ny inona na amin'ny inona amin'ireo andri-pahefana telo (ny mpanao lalàna, ny Fitsarana, ny Mpanatanteraka) sy hametraka fepetra amin'ny fomba fanaovana politikam-pampielezan-kevitra (tafiditra ao koa ny mialoha ny fampielezan-kevitra) miaraka amin'ny mety hisian'ny tsy fitanilàna eo amin'ny fahafaha-mifaninana mandritra ny hazakazaka ho amin'ny fifidianana, ho marina kokoa sy ho tsara ho an'ireo repoblika tahaka ny antsika izy amin'izay. |
21 | Do we have any other choice for ending our endless crises, conflicts and violence of all kinds, our insatiable desire for revenge, etc.. ? | Manana safidy hafa ankoatra an'io ve isika hisorohana ny olana tsy misy fitsaharany iainantsika, ny fifandirana sy herisetra isan-karazany, ny hetahetam-balivaty ao anatintsika tsy mety afa-po, sns. ? |
22 | Current government leaders have engaged in dialogue with the netizens, notably on twitter. | Ireo mpitarika amin'izao fotoana ao amin'ny governemanta dia niditra tamin'ny fifanakalozan-dresaka miaraka amin'ireo mpikirakira aterineto, indrindra fa ao amin'ny twitter. |
23 | Minister Alain Lobognon explains why it is sometimes necessary for a parliamentarian to hold multiple offices: | Ny Minisitra Alain Lobognon dia manazava ny antony ilàna tsindraindray ny fanangonana fe-potoam-piasàna : |
24 | @alainlobog: #nonaucumul @LaLegende77 @sanders225 How should I respond to the calls of my people? | @alainlobog: #nonaucumul @LaLegende77 @sanders225 Inona no havaly amin'ny antson'ny Vahoakako? |
25 | Say NO and roast put myself politically? | Hiteny TSIA dia ho vita matavy ara-politika? |
26 | Say YES and suffer your anger? | Hiteny ENY dia hitaty anareo rehetra? |
27 | he adds: | Manampy izy : |
28 | @alainlobog: Would you prefer for my political opponents to win and to stop me from organizing my meetings? | @alainlobog: Tianareo handresy ve ny fahavaloka ara-politika ka hanakana ahy tsy hanatanteraka ny famoriam-bahoakako? |
29 | @fielanord @sanders225 “It's forbidden!” | @fielanord @sanders225 “Voaràra izany!” |
30 | Guillame Soro, current president of the national assembly and former prime minister, also thinks that the issue is more complex than it seems and should not be treated simplistically: | Ary koa, ny filohan'ny antenimieram-pirenena sy praiminisitra fahiny Guillaume Soro dia mihevitra fa manahirana tokoa ilay lohahevitra fa tsy araka izay ahitàna azy akory ka tsy tokony hosahanina anaty hamehana : |
31 | @GuillaumeKSoro: Let's not be dogmatic about this issue. | @GuillaumeKSoro: Aoka isika tsy hanao an-tendrony amin'ity resaka ity. |
32 | Even so, Minister Lobognon, like Guillaume Soro, has given assurances that he will not seek to simultaneously take up multiple elected offices - already one small victory for this nascent citizen movement. | Ny minisitra Lobognon, sahala amin'i Guillaume Soro ihany, dia manome toky na izany aza fa hoe tsy hanangona fe-potoam-piasàna izany amin'ny fifidianana. Efa fandresena kely sahady ho an'ity hetsika avy amin'ny olom-pirenena vao miandoha ity izany. |
