1 | Zambia: Blogger Thinks Late President Fixed Election Date | Zambia: Heverin'Ireo Bilaogera Fa Ilay Filoham-Pirenena Nodimandry No Nametraka Ny Datim-Pifidianana |
2 | Zambia's President Rupiah Banda on July 28 2011 finally announced September 20 as the election date following his signing of a statutory instrument to dissolve parliament. | Ela ny ela, ny 28 Jolay 2011, ny Filoham-pirenena Zambiana, Rupiah Banda, dia nanambara ny datim-pifidianana ho ny 20 Septambra rehefa avy nanao sonia ny lalàna mandrava ny antenimiera. |
3 | After the parliament was adjourned sine die on June 24, rumblings started rising from the opposition, civic organisations and citizens with everyday that went on without the president announcing a date. | Rehefa avy noravana tsy hisy intsony ny antenimiera ny 24 Jona, nanomboka niakatra isan'andro vaky ny kotaba avy amin'ny mpanohitra, sampan-draharaham-panjakana sy ny olom-pirenena, tsy nisy izay filoha nanambara daty akory. |
4 | There has been debate in the country to have a fixed election date instead of depending on the whims and caprices of a sitting president who is allowed under the Electoral Act to announce the date. | Nisy ny adihevitra tao amin'ny firenena, ny amin'ny tsy maintsy hisian'ny datim-pifidianana mitombina ho solon'ny fiankinana amin'ny haitraitra sy haingitraingitran'ny filoha am-perinasa, izay mahazo alàlana avy amin'ny Lalàna mifehy ny Fifidianana ho afaka manambara ny datim-pifidianana. |

7 | | Nefa,ilay bilaogera Zambiana iray, Mazuba Mwiinga, dia mitsikera fa ny filoha nodimbiasan'i Banda, ilay Filoha nodimandry Levy Mwanawasa no nametraka tamin'ny fomba tsy mivantana ny datin'ny fifidianana. |
8 | Mazuba writes: | Mazuba manoratra : |
9 | Levy was such a clever President and sharp lawyer. | Toa sahala amin'ny filoha maranin-tsaina sy mpisolovava mahay ihany i Levy. |
10 | Don't you think so? | Sa tsy mino izany ianao? |
11 | Intelligently he told (former Finance Minister, Ng'andu) Magande to fix the period when the National Budget should be presented in Parliament. | Tamim-paharanitan-tsaina no nitenenany tamin'i ( Minisitry ny Tetibola teo aloha, Ng'andu) Magande hametra ny fotoana hoe rahoviana ny Tetibolam-Pirenena no tokony hatolotra ny antenimiera. |
12 | And the set up believe me you; dictate that general elections must always be held before October of an election year. | Ary famolavolana fa minoa ahy ianareo; mandidy fa ny fifidianana ny ho ao amin'ny antenimiera dia tsy maintsy vitaina alohan'ny volana Oktobra foana ao anatin'ny taom-pifidianana iray. |
13 | Wonder shouldn't be at your neck. | Tsy tokon'ny ho eo an-tendanao fotsiny ihany ny fahagagana. |
14 | According to the Constitution of Zambia (Amendment) Act No. 20 of 2009, Article 117 (1) states that, “The Minister responsible for finance shall, subject to clause (2), cause to be prepared and laid before the National Assembly, not later than the second Friday of October, before the commencement of the next financial year, estimates of revenue and expenditure of the Government for the financial year”; | Araka ny Lalàmpanorenan'i Zambia (fanovàna) Act No. 20 ny taona 2009, Andininy 117 (1) milaza fa, “Ny Ministera tompon'andraikitra amin'ny Tetibola no tsy maintsy manomana sy mametraka ao amin'ny Antenimieram-Pirenena, alohan'ny Zoma faharoa amin'ny volana Oktobra, mialoha ny fanombohan'ny taom-pandaniana manaraka, ny vinavinan'ny vola miditra sy ny fandanian'ny Governemanta ho an'ilay taom-pandaniana”, voafaritry ny rijanteny faha-2 ; |
15 | It simply means that by the second week of October, Government must present its budget for the following year in Parliament every year. | Midika tsotra izany fa hoe isan-taona, ny herinandro faharoa amin'ny Oktobra dia tsy maintsy mampahafantatra ny toe-bolany amin'ny taona manaraka ao amin'ny antenimieram-pirenena ny Governemanta |
16 | Mazuba continues: | Manohy i Mazuba |
17 | Clause 2 is a blanket clause that gives a lee way to a new government to relax and get prepared. | Ny rijanteny faha-2 dia fepetra ankapobeny izay manome fialonkalofana ho an'ny governemanta vaovao mba ho tony sy vonona. |
18 | But Clause 3 of Article 117 is the focal point on which an election period stands. | Nefa ny rijanteny faha-3, ny andàlany 117 no ny hevi-dehibe ijoroan'ny fotoam-pifidianana. |
19 | It restricts the rules of this game. | Mifehy ny fitsipik'ity lalao ity izany. |
20 | It states that, “The National Assembly shall, subject to clause (2), approve the budget not later than the thirty first day of December”. | Io dia milaza fa, “Ny Antenimeram-Pirenena dia tsy maintsy mandany ny tetibola alohan'ny faha iraika ambitelopolon'ny volana Desambra”, mifanaraka amin'ny rijanteny faha-2. |
21 | Elsewhere, Zambian netizens welcomed the date with mixed reactions. | Tamin'ny toeran-kafa, ireo Zambiana mpampiasa aterineto dia nandray ilay daty tamin'ny fanehoan-kevitra mifamahofaho. |
22 | Writing on the Lusaka Times [the site does not have links for individual comments], MMD Chief Bootlicker says: | Manoratra ao amin'ny Lusaka Times [ny tranonkala dia tsy manana rohy mankamin'ny tsikera manokana], MMD Chief Bootlicker milaza hoe : |
23 | Game on. Finish all your interviews in your homes and lets have the real battle . | Raikitra ny lalao, Vitao any an-tranonareoany ny tafatafa rehetra ary andao hatrehana ny tena ady. |
24 | Let the battle for truth and destiny for Zambia begin. | Avelao hanomboka ny ady ho amin'ny marina sy ny hoavin'i Zambia. |
25 | We are ready and our well oiled machine is already up to speed. | Efa vonona izahay ary ny milinay efa voahoso-menaka tsara dia efa vonona hirifatra. |
26 | Indeed let the battle begin | Avelao tokoa ny ady hanomboka. |
27 | Taking the fight to the opposition, zedian Umusasa says: | Miditra amin'ny ady amin'ny mpanohitra, milaza zedian Umusasa : |
28 | The Opposition have been calling for it, and he has given it to them, less than 2 months away. | Ny mpanohitra no niantso izao, ary nomeny azy ireo izany, 2 volana latsaka izay. |
29 | Most have not even announced lists of parliamentary candidates!!!! | Ny ankamaroany aza mbola tsy nanambara ny lisitry ny mpilatsaka ho mpikambana ao amin'ny antenimiera!!!! |
30 | Lets hear them complain , again!! | Andao henoina indray ny fitarainan-dry zareo!! |
31 | Without stating his preference, but clearly siding with the opposition, Teza Chirwa says: | Sady tsy manambara ny safidiny, nefa miandany mazava tsara amin'ny mpanohitra, miteny Teza Chirwa : |
32 | We cant go on, troding the same path and expect different results. | Tsy afaka mandroso isika, raha mandeha amin'ny lalà-mahazatra no sady miandrandra vokatra hafa. |
33 | The bembas [a Zambian ethnic group] say -”umwana ashenda atashiya nyina uku nayia bwaili” [he that does not travel wide thinks his mother is the best cook] | Ny bembas [foko Zambiana iray] miteny-”umwana ashenda atashiya nyina uku nayia bwaili” [izy, izay tsy manao fitetezan-tany betsaka dia mihevitra fa ny reniny no mpahandro tsara indrindra]. |
34 | Throwing in a bit of dark humour about victory by PF president Michael Sata who is known to suffer from heart complications, POMPIDU says: | Niely taminà hanihany tsy mazava ny momba ny fandresen'ny PF an'ny filoha Michael Sata izay fantatra fa manana olana ara-pahasalamana ao amin'ny fo, milaza i POMPIDU : |
35 | Unfortunately either way, Mr Sata will have a heart attack. If he wins he will have a heart attack in disbelief. | Indrisy anefa fa hiodin-kavia na ho havanana, tsy maintsy ho tratry ny aretim-po Ing Sata. |
36 | If he loses he will have a heart attack because he will understand that that would be his last chance and the end of his dream. | Raha toa ka mandresy izy dia harary fo noho ny zava-tsy mampino. raha toa ka resy izy dia harary fo satria ho fantany fa iny no vintana farany ho azy ary fiafaràn'ny nofinofiny. |
37 | Are we willing to take chances for another by-election. | Vonona hanandrana ny vintantsika amina fifidianana ampahany ve isika. |
38 | Vote wisely. | Mifidiana am-pahendrena. |
39 | Either RB (Rupiah Banda) or HH (UPND president Hakainde Hichilema). | Na RB (Rupiah Banda) na HH (UPND filoha Hakainde Hichilema). |
40 | There was no much difference on the comments on the Zambian Watchdog. | Tsy dia misy fahasamihafana loatra ireo fanamarihana ao amin'ny mpandala ny ara-dalàna zambiana. [ |
41 | A contributer who seemed to be an MMD supporter, Muzo 4 rb writes [the site does not have links for individual comments]: | Zambian Watchdog]… Manoratra ny mpandray anjara iray izay toa mpanohana ny MMD, i Muzo 4 rb [ny tranokala dia tsy manana rohy mankamin'ireo tsikera manokana] : |

47 | VIVA HH 20HH | VIVA HH 20HH. |
48 | Sata whose party was the second largest party in the just dissolved parliament, does not equally lack supporters. | Sata, izay ny antokony no faharoa lehibe indrindra tao amin'ilay parlemanta noravana, dia tsy hoe tsy ampy mpanohana akory. |

51 | One contributor, Rooney, calls for a televised debate for the presidential hopefuls: | Mpiara-miasa iray, Rooney, miantso adihevitra ifanatrehana amin'ny fahitalavitra ho an'ireo mpirotsaka amin'ny fifidiana ho filoham-pirenena : |
52 | It is high time, people to debate issue that affect our country. | Tena fotoanany izao, tokony hfanakalozan'ny olona hevitra momba ny olana mahazo ny firenentsika. |

55 | Tribal remarks will not take us anywhere. | Tsy hahazo anay mihitsy izay resaka fanamarihana ara-piaviana any. |
56 | Let be objective. | Aoka isika hahay handanjalanja. |
57 | As the countdown to the elections begins, it is now a wait see game before Zambians know who takes over the instruments of power in the next seven weeks. | Satria efa manomboka izao ny fanisàna mihemotra mankamin'ny fifidianana, miandry sy hahita ny lalao sisa izao, alohan'ny hahalalan'ny Zambiana hoe iza no handrombaka ny fitantanam-pahefana afaka fito herinandro. |
