1 | Zambia: Blogger Challenges Ex-ruling Party's Query On Guy Scott's Appointment | Zambia: Guy Scott Filoha Lefitra Fotsy Hoditra Sy Ny Ambaran'ny Lalampanorenana |
2 | The former ruling party, the MMD, has questioned the legality of the appointment of independent Zambia's first white Vice President, Dr Guy Scott, threatening to take the matter to the court of law to determine its constitutionality. | Manontany ny maha ara-dalàna ny fanendrena ilay Zambiana fotsy hoditra notendrena ho filoha lefitra voalohany hatramin'ny nahazoany ny fahaleovantenany,dia ny Dr Guy Scott, ny antoko nitondra teo alohaMMD, ka mandrahona ny hitondra ny raharaha eny amin'ny fitsarana mba hamaritana ny maha-ara-dalàna azy eo anatrehan'ny Lalampanorenanana. |
3 | The MMD's national chairman for legal affairs, George Kunda, a State Counsel, immediate past vice president and minister of justice, the position he held concurrently with the second highest state position, said recently that Dr Scott did not qualify to hold his current position apparently because he did not act as president on the only two occasions President Michael Sata has so far left the country. | Nanambara vao tsy ela akory izay ny filoha nasionalin'ny MMD misahana ny raharaham-pitsarana, mpanolontsainam-panjakana sady lehiben'ny fampanoavana ary filoha lefitra vao farany indrindra sady minisitry ny fitsarana, toerana nosahaniny mifanindran-dalana amina toerana ambony hafa maha-faharoa ambony indrindra teo amin'ny fitondrana azy, George Kunda anjakana izany, nanambara izy vao haingana fa tsy mahafeno ny fepetra ilaina ny Dr Scott handray izany andraikitra ambony izany satria mbola tsy nisahana asa amin'ny maha filoha izany izy indroa miantoana raha tsy maintsy nandao ny firenena ny filoha Michael Sata. |

6 | | Nanamafy kosa ny mpamaham-bolongana iray, Munshyawamunshya, fa ampy ny fepetra ahafahan'ny Dr Scott mandray ny toerana maha-filohan'ny repoblika: |
7 | Article 34 of the Constitution of the Republic of Zambia 1991 (as amended in 1996) contains the notorious “presidential parentage” clause, which among other things states that for one to be president of Zambia both parents should be “citizens of Zambia by birth or descent.” […] This study will show that if Article 34 is read together with the Supreme Court's ruling in Lewanika and others v Frederick Chiluba, Guy Scott and many others would qualify to stand for the office of President of the Republic. | Voalaza ao amin'ny andininy faha-34 ao amin'ny lalam-panorenana Zambiana tamin'ny 1991 (izay nasiam-panovana tamin'ny1996) ny fepetra mazava tsara momba ny “fiavian'izay ho filoham-pirenena”, izay misy fanamarihana fa tokony ho “teratany Zambiana eo am-pahaterahana sady Zambiana avokoa ny ray sy reny niteraka azy” ary mizaka ny zom-pirenena Zambiana izay olona hirotsaka hofidiana ho filoha an'i Zambia[…] Mampiseho izany fandalinana izany fa raha vakiana miaraka amin'ny fanapaha-kevitry ny Fitsarana Faratampony teo hatrany nandritra ny fitondran'i Lewanika sy ny hafa toa an'i Frederick Chiluba, dia afa-misahana ny andraikitra maha-filoham-pirenena araka io andininy faha 34 io tsara i Guy Scott sy ny maro hafa. |
8 | Munshyawamunshya, in reference to court cases of similar nature involving the first president Dr Kenneth Kaunda who is of Malawian parentage, his successor the late Frederick Chiluba, said to have been born in neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo and the fourth president, Rupiah Banda whose eligibility to stand for president was, ironically, challenged by the now ruling Patriotic Front because he was said to have originated from Malawi, observes: | Nampitaha ny raharaham-pitsarana mitovy tamin'ity tranga ity toy ny raharaha mikasika ny filoha voalohany Dr Kenneth Kaunda izay nanana fiaviana Malawita , ilay nandimby azy farany Frederick Chiluba, nolazaina fa teraka tao tamin'ny sisintany manakaiky an'i Repoblika Demokratika Congo ary filoha fahaefatra, Rupiah Banda izay nolavin'ny antoko ny fitondrana Patriotic Front ihany koa ny firotsahany ho fidiana filoham-pirenena satria noheverina fa manana fiaviana avy any Malawi i Munshyawamunshya : |
9 | The consequence of judicial interpretation means that a constitution like we have in Zambia is derived from several sources. | Ny fomba famahavahana ny lalàna ananatsika eto Zambia dia avy amin-javatra maro. |
10 | First, our constitution is derived from a written physical document, which was passed by our parliament in 1991 and amended in 1996. | Voalohany indrindra, avy amin'ilay atonta-taratasy nosorata-tanana ny lalampanorenantsika, izay nolanian'ny antenimiera tamin'ny taona 1991 ary nasiam-panitsiana tamin'ny 1996. |
11 | What that document contains is our constitution. | Ny votoatin'izany antonta-tartasy izany dia ny Lalampanorenantsika. |
12 | However, that document alone does not constitute Zambian constitutional law. | Na dia izany aza, tsy io antonta-taratasy io ihany no mandrafitra ny lalampanorenana Zambiana. |
13 | A correct view of the constitutional law of our republic therefore should be found in that document as well as rulings of the High Court and the Supreme Court that have interpreted some sections of that constitution. | Ny fomba fijery mahitsin'ny lalampanorenan'ny repoblika sy ny fanapahan-kevitra noraisin'ny Fitsarana Avo sy ny Fitsarana Tampony ny andininy sasantsasany ao amin'io Lalapanorenana io ihany koa. |
14 | Munshyawamunshya further writes: | Munshyawamunshya nanohy nanoratra hoe: |
15 | …[T]he court had identified serious problems with the requirement that a presidential candidate's parents should be Zambians by “birth or descent”. | …Nahamarika olana goavana tamin'ny fitakiana fa tsy maintsy “teraka na taranaka” Zambiana ny ray aman-drenin'izay ho kandida hofidiana ho filoha”. |
16 | The Supremes [sic] remarked that this law would present serious problems for the future. | Nanamarika ny Fitsarana Faratampony fa hametraka olana goavana any aoriana izany lalàna izany. |
17 | In essence they ruled that, this article couldn't apply to Zambians whose parents were born before 1964-before there was a Republic of Zambia. | Nametraka ry zareo fa tsy afaka ampiharina amin'ny Zambiana manana ray aman-dreny teraka talohan'ny 1964 izy io - izany hoe nialoha ny nijoroan'ny Repoblika Zambiana. |
18 | Essentially then, people like Chiluba (born 1944), Michael Sata (born 1944), Rupiah Banda (born 1943), Guy Scott (born c. | Raha tsorina tsy azo ampiharina amin'ny olona tahaka an'i Chiluba (teraka 1944), Michael Sata (teraka 1944), Rupiah Banda (teraka 1943), Guy Scott (teraka c. |
19 | 1940) and or Kenneth Kaunda (born 1924) cannot produce Zambian parents. | 1940) ary i Kenneth Kaunda (teraka 1924) io andinin-dalàna io. |
20 | This is because by the time that the parents of these people were born in the 1800s, there was no legal or constitutional entity known as Zambia. | Ny antony izany dia satria tamin'ny fotoana nahaterahan'ny ray aman-drenin'izy ireo tany amin'ny taona 1800 any, mbola tsy nisy firenena manana lalàna na lalàmpanorenana fantatra amin'ny anarana hoe Zambia. |
21 | Munshyawamunshya concludes: | Nofaranan'i Munshyawamunshya tamin'ny hoe: |
22 | Keeping with the arguments above, it is my conclusion that notwithstanding Article 34, Hon Guy Lindsay Scott can legally satisfy the requirement of Article 34 and can in fact serve as President of the Republic of Zambia. | Raha jerena ireo fehin-kevitra voalaza ao ambony ireo, toy izao ny famehezako izany, na dia eo aza ny Andininy faha-34, mahafeno tsara ny fepetra takian'ny Andininy faha-34 i Hon Guy Lindsay Scott ka afa-mitana ny andraikitry ny filohan'ny Repoblika ao Zambia. |
23 | Unless overruled, the case of Lewanika and others v Frederick Chiluba is law and therefore applies to Guy Lindsay Scott. | Afa-tsy noho ny tsy mampanankery intsony ny lalàna, dia efa mipetraka ho lalàna ny raharaha Lewanika sy ny hafa tahaka an'i Frederick Chiluba ary tokony hampiharina amin'i Guy Lindsay Scott. |
24 | Commenting on Munshyawamunshya observations, which latter appeared on the Lusaka Times, Janet C says that Africa is not ready for a white president: | Maneho hevitra mamaly ny fijerin'i Munshyawamunshya, izay niseho tao amin'ny gazety Lusaka Times avy eo, Janet C nilaza fa tsy vonona hotarihana filoha fotsy hoditra i Afrika: |
25 | Ok - so even if he qualifies - and I do not mean to be racist in any way - BUT in modern day Africa, it would be ‘politically incorrect' to have a white presido ruling in a predominanly black society. | Eny -na dia manan-jò aza izy - tsy midika izany fa te hanavakavam-bolokoditra aho -SAINGY ao anatin'ny vanim-potoana moderina i Afrika , tsy ‘mendrika ara-politika' izany hoe fotsy hoditra iray no mitondra ny firenena mainty hoditra. |
26 | I love ba Guy and think he should remain VP, but definately not presido - Africa is not yet ready for a white president!!!! | Tiako i ba Guy ary amiko tokony hijanona ho filoha-lefitra ihany izy, fa tsy ho lasa filoha kosa - mbola tsy vonona hanana filoha fotsy hoditra i Afrika!!!! |
27 | In response to Janet C, Peter writes: | Setrin'ny tenin'i Janet C, Peter nanoratra hoe: |

33 | On Twitter, one tweep had this to say: | Tao amin'ny Twitter, mpisera iray nilaza toy izao: |
34 | @CoolKanis: George Kunda's continue attacks on our Veep Guy Scott is a clear indication that, that [obscenity removed] is a #Racist. | @CoolKanis: Mampiseho mazava tsara ny tsikera ataon'i George Kunda amin'ny filoha lefitra Guy Scott, fa [ity tsy valahara efa noesorina] ity dia (Mpanavakavam-bolokoditra) #Racist. |

36 | Another tweep had this to say: | Mpisera Twitter iray nanambara toy izao kosa: |
37 | >@missbwalya: How was George Kunda Justice Minister when he doesn't even understand our constitution? | >@missbwalya: Ahoana no naha Minisitry ny Fitsarana an'i George Kunda kanefa tsy azony akory ny fandehan'ny Lalampanorenana?
