22 | The blog Sunwords which among other things highlights: | Ankoatry ny zavatra hafa dia manasongadina ny bilaogy Sunwords hoe : |
23 | The time for Kenyans to select new leaders is upon us again. | Mandindona antsika indray izao ny fotoana hifidianan'ny Keniana mpitarika vaovao. |
24 | We go to the polls in just a few weeks time. | Herinandro vitsy monja dia handeha handatsabato isika. |
25 | Will we choose wisely? | Hifidy amim-pahalalàna tsara vare isika? |
26 | The precedents are not good. | Tsy tsara ireo teo aloha. |
27 | We know very well that most Kenyans do not choose leaders on merit. | Fantatsika tsara mihitsy fa ny ankamaroan'ny Keniana dia tsy mifidy ireo mpitondra noho ny fahamendrehany. |
28 | They choose them mostly on tribe. | Fidian-dry zareo izy ireny arakaraky ny foko niaviany. |
29 | Your kinsman is your kinsman, and will get your vote. | Ny havanao no havanao, ary hahazo ny vatonao. |
30 | That your kinsman is also a rogue doesn't seem to come into it; he's your kinsman, and that is enough for you. | Fa ny hoe ny havanao mpangalatra ihany koa toa tsy tafiditra anatin'io; havanao izy, dia ampy anao izay. |
31 | “Your rogue” trumps “their candidate,” no matter how credible, because you believe everyone steals anyway. | “Ny adalanao” no herin'ny “kandidàn-dry zareo,” tsy olana hoe azo itokiana hatraiza, satria ianao mino fa ny rehetra mihitsy no mangalatra na izany na tsy izany. |
32 | This kind of thinking ensures that we remain backward. | Ity karazam-pisainana ity no miantoka ny fijanonantsika ho any aoriana hatrany. |
33 | It ensures that elections in Kenya are decided by tribal voting blocs. | Io no mahatonga ny fifidianana ao Kenya hobaikoan'ny fifidianana ara-poko. |
34 | It ensures that whoever gets the most populous tribes on his ballot becomes the overall leader. | Io no miantoka fa na iza na iza mahazo ny vato be indrindra avy amin'ny foko be olona ao amin'ny biletàm-pirotsahany dia ho lasa mpitarika ny rehetra. |
35 | It ensures that issues such as intellect, credentials and character never come into consideration Let's be in no doubt: this situation is not about to change anytime soon. | Io no miantoka fa tsy hiditra anaty kajikajy velively izany resaka fananam-pahaizana, fahefana na toetra izany. Aoka isika tsy ho anaty fisalasalàna: tsy mbola ho ato ho ato no hiova akory izao tarehin-javatra izao. |

37 | #BallotRevolution could fail because of one thing. | Mety tsy hanjary noho ny antony iray fotsiny ny #BallotRevolution. |
38 | It's a broken revolution. | Revolisiona miparasaka. |
39 | Too fragmented, among too many parties. | Mitsipotipotika loatra, eo amin'ireo samy antoko marobe. |
40 | @gothrockstar80 expressed a contrary opinion: | @gothrockstar80 naneho fomba fijery mifanohitra amin'izay : |
41 | The reality is #BallotRevolution or not, we'll vote the #Mpigs (pun for Mp's)back in http://wp.me/ptBPN-6X via @Tribe46thKenyan | Ny zava-misy dia na #BallotRevolution na tsia, mbola hifidy an'ireo #Mpigs (tsilalaonteny anodnroana ny MP, solombavam-bahoaka) hiverina eo ihany isika http://wp.me/ptBPN-6X avy amin'i @Tribe46thKenyan |
42 | Wanjiku Revolution with a sigh of relief states: | Miaraka amin'ny sentom-pitsaharana no ilazan'i Wanjiku Revolution hoe : |
43 | Kenyans have just burried the vultures in a fiery furnace mass grave right in front of . | Nandevina fotsiny ihany an'ireo ‘vautours' tao anaty fasana itambaram-be sy misy afo mipololotra ny Keniana. |
44 | The #BallotRevolution is on! | Miala àny ny #BallotRevolution! |
45 | Most of the protesters were relatively young, an indication of an increasingly active young generation in Kenya that is bent upon keeping executive and legislative excesses in check. | Somary tanora daholo ny ankamaroan'ireo mpanao hetsi-panoherana, marika milaza ny fitomboan'ny andian-tanora mavitrika ao Kenya izay tapa-kevitra ny hanara-maso hanakana ny fanararaotam-pahefana ataon'ireo mpanatanteraka sy mpanao lalàna |
46 | However, the jury is still out on whether Kenyans will not re-elect the Members of Parliament who selfishly endorsed their hefty salary hikes and perks. | Kanefa, mbola tsy ao mihitsy ny mpitsara amin'ny fijerena hoe mbola hiverina hifidy ireo Mpikamban'ny Parlemanta izay nanao sonia tanaty fitiavantena ny fampakàrana karama sy ny tombontsoa mihoam-pampany ihany ve ny Keniana. |
