1 | Billions of Japan's Post-Quake Relief Funds Didn't Help Victims | Fanampiana An-davitrisany Taorian'ny Horohorontany Tao Japana No Tsy Tonga Tany Amin'Ireo Tra-boina |
2 | A major Japanese newspaper has revealed that billions of yen meant to employ people in areas devastated by a powerful earthquake and resulting tsunami off the northeastern Japan in 2011 were funneled into other unrelated projects that did not benefit the victims. | Gazety lehibe iray ao Japana no namoaka fa yen an-davitrisany natokana ho amin'ny fanampiana ireo olona tra-boina tamin'ilay horohoron-tany mahery vaika izay nitarika ilay tsunami nahazo ny faritra Avatra atsinanan'i Japana ny taona 2011 no nampiasaina taminà tetikasa izay tsy nahazoan'ireo tra-boina ireo tombontsoa mihitsy. |
3 | The Asahi Shimbun reported that of the 200 billion yen (two billion US dollars) of government budget meant to help those who lost their homes and jobs in the Great East Japan Earthquake, more than half went to 38 prefectures other than the nine affected in the Tohoku region. | Ny Asahi Shimbun dia nanambara fa natokana hanampiana ireo very trano sy very asa tamin'ilay Horohorontany Lehibe Tao Japana Atsinanana na “Great East Japan Earthquake” ny yen 200 miliara (roa miliara amin'ny dolara Amerikana) izay tetibolan'ny governemanta, ny antsasa-manila mahery tamin'izany no nampiasaina ho an'ireo prefektiora 38 hafa ankoatr'ireo sivy izay tena voa mafy tao amin'ny faritr'i Tohoku. |
4 | Emergency employment budget was spent on, among other things, a team of workers to count sea turtles, an international manga comic expo, and a campaign to promote Yamaguchi Prefecture with a green-haired mascot called Choruru. | Nampiasaina ilay tetibola natokana ho an'ny asa maika, ho an'ireo ekipa miasa manisa soka-dranomasina, fampisehoana iraisampirenena “manga” mampihomehy iray, ary fanentanana irey ho fampahafantarana ny prefektioran'i Yamaguchi narahanà maskoty iray manana volo miloko maintso antsoina hoe Choruru. |
5 | The news of the misappropriation of reconstruction funds drew criticism among social media users. | Nahatonga resabe teo amin'ireo mpampiasa tambajotra sosialy izany familiana làlana ny vola tokony ho an'ny fanarenana izany. |
6 | Twitter user @2_happy commented with disappointment: | Mpampiasa Twitter iray @2_happy no naneho ny heviny tamim-pahadisoam-panantenana : |
7 | @2_happy: Public office and authorities doing such terrible job in this country. | @2_happy : Biraom-panjakana sy ireo manampahefana ve no mahavita manao zava-doza toy izany amin'ity firenena ity. |
8 | Can we still call this country doing just fine? | Afaka ny antsoina hoe mpanao ny tsara hatrany ihany ve ity firenentsika ity? |
9 | | One hundred billion reconstruction fund diverted | | Iray miliara natokana ho an'ny fanarenana no voahodinkodina |
10 | The editor of cyclingtime.com, a portal site for bicycle fans, slammed the “money-grubbers” responsible for the misuse of the money on Twitter. | Ilay tonian-dahatsoratry ny cyclingtime.com, vohikala natokana ho an'ireo mpitia bisikileta, dia namely ireo “mpangala-bola” tompon'andraikitra amin'ny fampiasam-bola tsy ara-dalàna tao amin'ny Twitter. |
11 | The comment was retweeted for more than 200 times: | Niverimberina nalefa in-200 ilay fanehoan-kevitra : |
12 | @cyclochabumaro: Of 65000 people hired in 38 different prefectures in disaster recovery effort, only 3% were the residents of the disaster-stricken area. | @cyclochabumaro: Olona maherin'ny 65.000 no voaray hiasa avy amin'ny prefektiora 38 samihafa mba hanao ny asa fanarenana, ary 3% amin'izy ireo ihany no mponina avy ao amin'ny toerana nitrangan'ny loza. |
13 | 97% were from elsewhere. Please. | 97% avy any an-toeran-kafa. |
14 | You should be kidding me, this was meant to help recover from the disaster. | Azafady. manadala ahy ve ianareo izany, natao hanampiana ny tra-doza anie io e. |
15 | Too many money-grabbers making people believe that they are sympathizing and helping fellow citizens. | Maro be ireo mpangala-bola no manao izay hinoan'ny olona fa mitsetra sy manampy ny mpiray monina aminy izy ireo. |
16 | Shingo Nishinari (@shingo_ghetto), a rapper who is known for political criticism, commented: | Shingo Nishinari (@shingo_ghetto), mpanao rap fanta-daza amin'ny fanakianany mpanao politika, no nilaza hoe : |
17 | @shingo_ghetto: Disappointing. | @shingo_ghetto : Mandiso fanantenana. |
18 | This is unforgivable diverting. | Fanondinkodinam-bola tsy azo leferina. |
19 | Ministries and agencies making excuse to make money. | Ministera sy sampan-draharaha mamorona fialàna olana mba hahazoam-bola. |
20 | Heartless organizations and groups carrying the money away. | Fikambanana sy vondrona tsy mifadi-trovana milefa miaraka amin'ny vola. |
21 | My deepest wish for true reconstruction. | Maniry mafy aho ny hisian'ny tena fanarenana marina. |
22 | Billions of Reconstruction fund have been reportedly used for unrelated project. | An-davitrisany ny Tetibola Fanorenana voahodinkodina taminà tetikasa tsy misy ifandraisany amin'izany. |

24 | This is not the first time that disaster relief funds for the Great East Japan Earthquake have been used for unrelated projects. | Tsy vao izao no nisy tetibola natokana ho an'ny loza voajanahary ho an'ny ” Great East Japan Earthquake” nampiasaina taminà tetikasa tsy misy ifandraisany amin'izany. |
25 | Kahoku Shimpo, a regional newspaper in the greater Sendai area in central Japan, wrote in June 2011 with disappointment that the government hired [ja] national contractors over local contractors from the devastated region to build temporary housing for earthquake victims. | Kahoku Shimpo, gazetim-paritra ao amin'ny faritr'i Sendai afovoan'i Japana, no nanoratra tamim-pahadisoam-panantenana ny Jona 2011 fa nandray [ja] mpahay mari-trano nasionaly ny governemanta fa tsy mpahay mari-trano avy amin'ny faritra mba hanorina trano fonenana vonjy maika ho an'ireo tra-boina tamin'ny horohoron-tany. |
26 | And The Hokkaido Newspaper wrote editorial [ja] in October 2012 criticizing that 3.4 billion yen of relief aid was used to fund road construction on southwestern Okinawa island, which was unaffected by the earthquake. | Ary Ilay Gazety Hokkaido dia nanoratra matoan-dahatsoratra [ja] mihitsy ny volana Oktobra 2012 nanakiana ilay vola yen 3.4 miliara natokana ho amin'ny vonjy taitra izay nampiasaina taminà fanamboaran-dàlana tany amin'ny faritra atsimo andrefan'ilay nosy Okinawa, izay tsy voakasik'ilay horohorontany akory. |
27 | Twitter user inakamon_jiji (@Inakamon_jiji), whose name means an old man in the countryside, commented on Hokkaido Newspaper's editorial: | Mpampiasa Twitter iray inakamon_jiji (@Inakamon_jiji), izay midika hoe lahy antitra eny ambanivohitra, dia naneho ny heviny tamin'ilay matoan-dahatsoratry ny gazety Hokkaido : |
28 | @Inakamon_jiji: “Appropriation of reconstruction budget, unforgivable bureaucrats. ” says the paper. | @Inakamon_jiji : “Fanodinkodinana ny vola ho an'ny fanarenana, mpitàna birao tsy azo amindràna fo” hoy ilay gazety. |
29 | The essence of this issue is that government officials are incompetent in governing the country. | Ny tena izy amin'io resaka io dia hoe tsy mahavita azy ny fanjakana amin'ny fitantanana ny firenena. |
30 | It's obvious they needed to do something before they increase taxes. | Mivandravandra be fa mila manao zavatra ry zareo mialoha ny hampakarany ny hetra. |
31 | After the earthquake, fierce criticism was also directed at the mainstream media and public relations agencies which allegedly devoured parts of the reconstruction budget to run morale-boosting public service announcements using celebrities on television. | Taorian'ilay horohorontany, kiana mivaivay no nahazo ireo masoivohom-pifandraisana sy filazam-baovaom-bahoaka izay voatondro ho nanamaivana ilay raharaha fanodikodinam-bola mba hamatsiana fanentanana hampakarana ny moralin'ny mponina izay nampiasàna olo-malaza tao amin'ny fahitalavitra . |
32 | In 2012, blogger popo wrote [ja] about the massive spending by these large television stations funded by siphoning off disaster relief funds. | Ny taona 2012, ilay bilaogera popo nanoratra [ja] mikasika ny fandaniam-bola be mikararàna tamin'ireo fahitalavitra novatsiana tamin'ny fanaovana fafy kantrana ny vola fanampiana. |
33 | The blogger referenced an article by weekly magazine Post Seven which broke the story in August 2012 [ja]. | Nanondro lahatsoratra iray navoakan'ny gazetiboky mpiseho isan-kerinandro Post Seven izay namoaka izany tantara izany tamin'ny Aogositra 2012 [ja] moa ilay bilaogera. |
34 | According to the piece, of the entire reconstruction budget, more than three billion yen were used for recovery support advertisements. | Araka ny voalaza, amin'ireo vola rehetra natokana ho an'ny fanarenana, maherin'ny yen telo miliara no vola nampiasaina taminà dokambarotra fanentanana ho fanohanana ny asa fanarenana. |
35 | The local fishermen's guilds in disaster-stricken areas barely got any government support and some were forced to shut down business due to a lack of financing. | Zara raha nahazo fanampiana avy amin'ny governemanta ny fikambanan'ny mpanjono tra-boina ary ny sasany aza voatery nanajanona ny fandraharahàny mihitsy noho ny tsy fisian'ny famatsiam-bola. |
36 | If this piece really reports the truth, I think these major stations should be shut down immediately! | Raha toa ka tena mitatitra ny marina tokoa io lahatsoratra io, dia heveriko fa tokony hakatona izao ankehitriny izao ireny foibenà fahitalavitra ireny ! |
37 | The latest funding revelations by Asahi Shimbun drew vocal criticism. | Nitarika fampiakaram-peo nanakiana ilay ampamoaka farany mikasika ny fanodikodinam-bola navoakan'i Asahi Shimbun. |
38 | In response to the report, the government plans to ask local governments and other organizations to stop using the reconstruction money and return any untouched funds to the government, according to the newspaper. | Hamaliana ilay fanadihadiana, vinavinain'ny governemanta ny hitaky amin'ny governemantam-paritra sy ireo fikambanana maro ny hanajanonana ny fampiasàna ny vola natokana ho amin'ny fanarenana ary hamerina ireo vola mbola tsy nokitihany any amin'ny governemanta foibe, araka ny voalazan'ilay gazety. |
39 | The Finance Ministry is currently investigating the matter. | Eo an-dalam-panadihadiana izany ankehitriny ny Ministeran' ny vola. |
40 | On blogroll esteru.com[ja], an anonymous author criticized the plan as being too late. | Tao amin'ilay blogroll esteru.com[ja], mpanoratra iray tsy mitonona anarana no nanakiana ilay drafitra hoe tara loatra. |
41 | Anonymous users debated in comments below the blogger's post, trading blame and squabbling about whether it was the fault of the former ruling party Democratic Party Japan (DPJ) or the current Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) administration: | Mpampiasa tsy mitonona anarana maro no niady hevitra tamin'izany, ireto manaraka ireto ny lahatsorany, fanakianana ilay fifanarahana raha toa ka hadisoan'ny fitantanan'ny antokon'ny fitondrana teo aloha “Democratic Party Japan (DPJ) izany na ny ” Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) amin'izao fotoana : |
42 | I think LDP was quick to take action on this misuse of the reconstruction fund, given how messy of a situation the DPJ created. | Everiko fa ny LDP no mailaka kokoa nanao io fanodinkodinana ny volan'ny fanarenana io, raha tsy hijery afa-tsy ny fisafotofoton'ny nananganana ny DPJ tampotampoka teo isika. |
43 | I'm pretty sure LDP needed at least a half year [after they were elected in December 2012] to respond to the misappropriated budget issue. | Ary tena azoko antoka mihitsy fa mbola mila tapa-taona ny LDP [taorian'ny nahalany azy ireo ny volana Desambra 2012] hamaliana ny fanontaniana mikasika io fanodinkodinam-bola io. |
44 | I don't understand why some people here are blaming on LDP. | Tsy azoko mihitsy hoe maninona ny olona sasany no manome tsiny ny LDP. |
45 | I suppose they have no idea about political system. | Mihevitra aza aho fa tsy mahalala ny mikasika ny rafitra ara-politika akory izy ireo. |
46 | I see this story on hauling budget appropriation as a demonstration of LDP's competency. | Mahita àry aho fa fanehoan'ny LDP ny fahaiza-manaony io resaka fampiasam-bola io. |
47 | I mean think about it:it was not LDP that established the fund in the first place. | Ny tiako hambara dia Saino tsara :tsy ny LDP no nametraka io tetibola io voalohany. |
48 | It's obviously difficult to return funds especially when it was legally proceeded. | Mazava be fa sarotra ny mamerina vola, indrindra raha ara-dalàna an-taratasy mazava izany. |
49 | So they blame DPJ for this? I bet they don't understand how the Basic Act on Reconstruction passed. | Ary dia endrikendrehan-dry zareo amin'izany ny DPJ ? sahiko ny miloka fa tsy misy zava-pantany ny fandehan'ny Lalàna Fototra Mifehy ny Fanarenana. |
50 | When DPJ made cabinet decision on the bill, it included one sentence; the budget should be exclusively used in disaster-stricken area. | Tamin'ny fotoana nandraisan'ny DPJ ilay volavolan-dalàna, misy fehezanteny iray ao; tokony ampiasaina irery ihany amin'ny faritra tra-doza ilay tetibola. |
51 | But when the Diet lawmakers of DPJ-LDP-Komei party together put into legislation, they decided that this budget should not be exclusive. | Kanefa nony tonga teo ilay solombavam-bahoaka “Diet ” avy amin'ny antoko DPJ-LDP-Komei , dia nanapa-kevitra izy ireo fa tsy tokony ho voafetra ny fampiasana io tetibola io. |
52 | So they are all to be blamed. | Noho izany tokony izy rehetra no homentsika tsiny. |
53 | [in reply to 148] It's been two years since the diversion of disaster relief funds was first criticized. | [valinteny ho an'i 148] Efa ho roa taona izao no voakiana foana ny fitondrana tamin'ny fanodinkodinany vola fanampiana ho an'ny loza voajanahary. |
54 | I think the government is to blame for not interfering with the agencies responsible for the funds. | Araky ny hevitro, ny governemanta mihitsy no tokony homena tsiny amin'ny tsy fandraisany andraikitra manoloana ireo sampan-draharaha miandraikitra ny fampiasana izany vola izany. |
55 | This is not a partisan issue. | Tsy resaka fiandaniana izany. |
56 | The pork-barrel spending is an act of government agencies. | Ny fandaniana toy izany dia andraikitry ny governemanta. |
57 | It's not a partisan issue. | Tsy raharahan'antoko izany. |
58 | Government agencies are the wrongdoers that spend money without monitoring the use. | Ny sampan-draharaha ao amin'ny governemanta no mpanaotao foana mandany vola tsy misy fanaraha-maso tahaka izany. |
59 | On Twitter, Nakano Takashi, who organizes a project in Minamisoma city, Fukushima to support victims of the earthquake, argued that it's not a partisan issue: | Tao amin'ny Twitter, i Nakano Takashi, izay nikarakara tetikasa iray tao an-tanànan'i Minamisoma, Fukushima mba hanohanana ireo tra-boina tamin'ilay horohorontany, dia nilaza fa tsy raharahan'antoko izany : |
60 | @wildft: These budgets that were scrounged via tax increase, but were misused massively; 2 trillion, 1.2 trillion, 10 billion yens used for funding “yuru chara” regional cartoon mascot, local idols, national road construction, counting turtles, gourmet. | @wildft : Ireny tetibola azo tamin'ny fiakaran'ny hetra ireny, kanefa tsy nampiasaina araka ny tokony ho izy ; 2 miliara dolara, 1.2 miliara dolara, yen 10 miliara nampiasaina ho fanohanana an'i “yuru chara” ilay maskoôtim-paritra, nampahafantarana ny tanàna, nanamboarana ny làlam-pirenena, nanisàna sokatra, famokisan-tena. |
61 | Each local municipality applied for the fund. | Izay tanàna rehetra nampiasàna ilay vola rehetra. |
62 | In other words, all of us is responsible. | Raha aravona izany, tomponandraikitra daholo isika rehetra. |
