3Kyrgyzstan, one of the few corners of ex-Soviet Central Asia where civil society can still effect change, did itself proud this week.Kyrgyzstan, iray amin'ireo toerana vitsy an'ny Sovietika fahiny ao Azia Afovoany, izay mbola ahafahan'ireo fiarahamonim-pirenena manao fanovàna, nirehareha tamin'ny tsara tamin'ity herinandro ity.
4Following a social media-driven campaign to prevent the government spending around $40,000 on new seats for the incoming sixth convocation of the Kyrgyz parliament, the parliament's administration has squashed the tender for the seats and decided the old ones are fine after all.Taorian'ny hetsika natao tamin'ny media sosialy, mba hisorohana ny governemanta tsy handany vola mitentina 40.000 dolara eo ho eo, amin'ireo seza vaovao ho an'ny fiantsoana faha-enina ny parlemanta Kyrgyz vao hiditra, namono ny fiantsoana tolobidy ho an'ireo seza ny sampan-draharahan'ny parliemanta ary nanapa-kevitra fa mety tsara ihany ireo seza efa teo taloha.
5Some context is needed here.Ilaina eto ny fisehoan-javatra sasantsasany .
6Firstly, many Kyrgyzstanis had a difficult time believing that the smart-looking chairs bought for parliamentarians in 2010 were actually worn out, as one parliament official had argued.Voalohany, tsy mino ireo Kyrgyz maro hoe efa tena simba tokoa ankehitriny ireo seza mahafinaritra novidian'ny parlemanta tamin'ny taona 2010, araka ny filazan'ny manampahefana iray ao amin'ny parlemanta.
7Kyrgyz MPs are notorious for not showing up to work, with half the parliament frequently absent from sessions.Malaza amin'ny tsy fiakarana any am-piasana ireo solombavambahoaka Kyrgyz, matetika no tsy tonga ny antsasak'ireo parliemantera amin'ireo fivoriana.
8This means some of the chairs will have hardly seen any action at all in the past five years.Midika izany fa tsy niasa firy ireo seza sasany nandritra ny dimy taona.
9Secondly, a number of people suspected potential corruption surrounding the tender for the chairs in a country where graft is commonplace.Faharoa, maro ireo olona niahiahy ny fisian'ny kolikoly manodidina ilay tolobidy amin'ireo seza, ao anatin'ny firenena iray izay zavatra fahita matetika ny fanaovana tsolotra.
10Thirdly, $40,000 is not a trifling sum in a country where the average wage hovers somewhere around $200 per month.Fahatelo, tsy vola kelikely izany 40.000 dolara izany ao amin'ny firenena iray izay manodidina ny 200 dolara isam-bolana ny karaman'ny olona iray.
11What emerged in response to news of the tender was the #120кресел hashtag, with which Kyrgyz citizens posted pictures of all kinds of chair photos and ironic comments.Ny tenifototra #120кресел no nipoitra ho valinkafatra tamin'ireo vaovao momba ilay tolobidy, izay nandefasan'ireo olom-pirenena Kyrgyz ny sarin'ireo karazana seza sy ireo fanehoankevitra maneso.
12Many of the images featuring the hashtag were a non-too-subtle nod in the direction of the chasm separating privileged lawmakers from the common folk.Maro amin'ireo sary manindrahindra ilay tenifototra no mampiseho loha mitodika any amin'ilay hantsana lehibe manasaraka ireo solombavambahoaka mahazo tombony be amin'ireo vahoaka tsotra.

13Later there followed an even more poignant response to the tender announcement: a petition that grew up on Avaaz.org demanding government use the funds to update equipment in cancer treatment centres instead of spending them on chairs.Taty aoriana, nisy valinkafatra mbola manindrona kokoa tamin'ny filazàna ilay hetsika tolobidy: fanangona-ntsonia izay mitombo hatrany ao amin'ny Avaaz.org, mitaky ny governemanta mba hampiasa ilay vola mba hanavaozana ny fitaovana any amin'ireo toerana fikarakaràna ny homamiadana, fa tsy handany io amin'ny seza.
14The authors of the petition, which had around 250 signatories at the time of writing, wrote:Nanoratra izao ireo tompon'antoka tamin'ilay fanangonan-tsonia, izay efa nahazo sonia 250 amin'ny fotoana anoratana izao:
15The ease with which funds are allocated from the state budget to the tune of 2.6 million soms [around $37,000] to upgrade chairs, suggests that cancer patients in our country still have hope of receiving adequate treatment.Ny hamoràn'ny famoahana ny vola mitetina 2,6 tapitrisa soms [manodidina ny 37.000 dolara] avy ao amin'ny tetibolam-panjakana,mba hanatsaràna seza, dia manome soso-kevitra hoe mbola manana fanantenana ny hahazo fikarakaràna tsara ihany ireo mararin'ny homamiadana eto amin'ny firenentska.
16You just have to dispose the people's money wisely.Mila mampiasa ny volam-bahoaka am-pahendrena tsara fotsiny ianareo.

20I hope that it is far from the last victory of this type.Manantena aho fa lavitry ny fandresena farany amin'ny karazany toy izao io.
21Two years ago Global Voices covered a similar kind of campaign in Kazakhstan that came as a response to a minister's gaffe at a time when the Kazakh parliament was debating a bill on raising the female pension age.Roa taona lasa izay, nanao fandrakofana mikasika ny karazana fanentanana mitovy amin' izao tany Kazakhstan ny Global Voices, izay valinkafatra ho an'ny sotasotan'ny ministera tamin'izany, raha niady hevitra momba ny volavolan-dalàna hampiakarana ny taonan'ny fisotroan-drononon'ireo vehivavy ny parlemanta Kazakh.

24Sadly, in the region's two most relentlessly authoritarian states, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, such campaigns would struggle to even get off the ground.Indrisy, any amin'ireo faritra ao amin'ireo fanjakàna roa izay tena ahitàna jadona tsy azo ihodivirana, Tiorkmenistana sy Ozbekistàna, toa tsy ho afaka hiala eny amin'ny tany akory ireo hetsika sahala amin'izany.
