1 | Kyrgyzstan: MPs Told to Ride the Bus | Kyrgyzstan: Nilazana Mba Handray Aotobisy Ireo MPs (Mpikambana Amin'ny Parlemanta) |
2 | Members (MPs) of Kyrgyzstan's Jogorku Kenesh parliament are not generally associated with self-sacrificing behaviour. | Tsy dia malaza loatra amin'ny fitondrantena maneho fahaiza-mihafy ireo mpikambana ao amin'ny Parlemanta (MPs) avy amin'ny Jogorku Kenesh ao Kyrgyzstan. |
3 | Nevertheless, a suggestion from within the legislature that MPs should give up their state-funded cars and take a minibus to work has moved Kyrgyz netizens towards a reappraisal of what their elected representatives should and shouldn't be entitled to. | Kanefa, sosokevitra iray nivoaka avy tao amin'ny Tranoben'ireo mpanao lalàna ny amin'ny tokony handavan'ireo MPs ny fiara vatsian'ny fanjakàna nomena azy ireo ka handraisan'izy ireo kosa ny ‘minibus' rehefa handeha hamonjy asa no nahatonga ireo Kyrgyz mpiondana aterineto hatrany amin'ny fanombantombanana ny tombontsoa tokony na tsy tokony homena ireo olomboafidiny. |
4 | The proposal came from within the ranks of the socialist Ata-Meken party, as part of a continuing discourse on how to shrink an alarmingly bloated and deficit ridden state budget. | Ilay sosokevitra dia niainga avy any amin'ny laharan'ny antoko sosialista Ata-Meken, ho tohin'ny kabary lavabe momba ny fomba hifehezana ny tetibolam-panjakana bokan-trosa nefa nabontsina be. |
5 | The reactions of MPs from other factions were then comprehensively canvassed in an excellent article by Kloop.kg's Begimai Bolotbekova. | Ny fanehoan-kevitr'ireo MPs avy amin'ny antoko hafa avy eo dia tena nohalalinina an-tsakany sy an-davany tokoa ao amin'ny Kloop.kg, lahatsoratra iray avy amin'ny Begimai Bolotbekova. |
6 | Ata-Meken's Akunaly Dosaly outlined [ru] the “shuttle scheme” thus: | Akunaly Dosaly avy amin'ny Ata-Meken no nanasongadina [ru] ilay “tetika maimaika” toy izao : |
7 | In each faction, there could be one or two custom vehicles while the majority of MPs could take a shuttle bus. | Ao anaty vondrona tsirairay, afaka manana zo hanana fiara manokana ho azy, iray na roa, raha ny ankamaroan'ny MPs kosa handray ‘minibus' iraisana. |
8 | They could arrive in the morning then be brought back in the evening. | Afaka tonga vao maraina izy ireo dia aterina mody indray ny hariva. |
9 | This would seem a reasonable initiative, given that MPs of different factions can hardly be expected to ride the same bus. | Tahaka ny fandraisana andraikitra izay tsy hita ny maharatsy azy izy ity, indrindra fa ireo MPs avy amin'ny vondrona samihafa dia ho sarotsarotra ihany ny hanantenana azy ireo ho tafaray anaty fiara fitateram-bahoaka iray. |
10 | But even with that proviso, some lawmakers weren't happy with the idea. | Saingy na amin'io fomba io aza, betsaka ireo mpanao lalàna no tsy faly amin'ilay hevitra. |
11 | Jyldyzkan Joldosheva of the Ata-Jurt party said [ru]: | Jyldyzkan Joldosheva avy amin'ny antoko Ata-Jurt sdia niteny hoe [ru]: |
12 | I have a house in Bishkek - I refused a [state-funded] apartment. | Manana trano aho any Bishkek - Nandà efitrano iray aho [niantohan'ny fanjakàna]. |
13 | But the car, I cannot refuse because it is not a luxury, but a necessity | Saingy ny fiara, tsy azoko lavina satria tsy haitraitra iny fa filàna |
14 | Incidentally, if the allegations of one news portal [ru] are to be believed, Zholdosheva is rather fond of state-funded “necessities”. | Avy amin'ny zava-nitranga, raha ny honohono aminà vavahadim-baovao iray [ru] no inoana, i Zholdosheva dia mankamamy ny “filàna” vatsian'ny fanjakàna. |
15 | Although a couple of MPs supported the parliamentary shuttle plan in principle, others thought it unfeasible. | Na misy aza MPs vitsivitsy manohana ny ilay vinavina hisianà fiara fitaterana ho an'ny parlemantera amin'ny maha-hevitra azy, ny sasany kosa nihevitra azy io ho tsy azo tanterahana. |
16 | Tatiyana Levina of the Ar-Namys party said she wasn't against travelling by shared transport per se, but feared that it might give off the wrong impression to the electorate: | Tatiyana Levina avy amin'ny antoko Ar-Namys niteny fa izy dia tsy manohitra ny eritreritra fandraisana fiara fitaterana itambaram-be, saingy io dia atahorany hitondra fomba fijery ratsy any amin'ireo mpifidy : |
17 | If you give up company cars, you need to give up everything - payments, subsidies… Well, how would that look? | Raha lavinareo ny fiara natao hiasàna, dia tokony ho lavinareo koa ny zavatra rehetra - ny karama, ny fanohanana… Izay izany, dia ho tahaka ny inona izany? |
18 | Everyone lives in different parts of the city. | Monina aminà faritra samihafa eto amin'ny tanàna ny tsirairay. |
19 | I think our voters would find it more annoying [if we got a bus to work], because our pensioners cannot ride buses for free - they must pay a fee | Heveriko fa hanahirantsaina no fahitàn'ireo mpifidy antsika an'izany [raha toa isika mandeha aotobisy rehefa hiasa], satria ireo efa misotro ronono eto amintsika tsy afaka ny handeha maimaimpoana amin'ny aotobisy - tsy maintsy mandoa saran-dàlana ry zareo |
20 | So the knowledge that MPs get a free bus pass would be more of an irritation to the electorate than watching the same representatives cruise into work in a government-allocated Toyota Camri? | Araka izany ny fahalalana fa ireo MPs dia mandeha maimaimpoana amin'ny aotobisy dia vao mainka hampivontirika ireo mpifidy miohatra amin'ny fahitana ireo olom-boafidiny mamonjy ny asa ao anaty fiara Toyota Camri natolotry ny governemanta? |
21 | Hmmm… | Hmmm… |
22 | Nice wheels, baike | Fiara raitra, baike |
23 | It is worth mentioning that not all of Kyrgyzstan's legislators drive a Camri to work. | Mendrika homarihana fa tsy ny mpanao lalàana rehetra eto Kyrgyzstan no mitondra fiara Camri rehefa hamonjy asa. |
24 | Some of them eschew the gift for their own flashier set of wheels, while others alternate between privately owned and publically owned automobiles. | Ny sasany amin'izy ireo dia mandà ny fanomezana fa aleony mampiasa ny fiarany manintona ny maso, raha ny hafa indray mampifandimby ny an'ny tenany manokana sy ny fiaram-panjakàna. |
25 | Following the interest in Bolotbekova's article, Kloop.kg invited their posse of young journalists (all aged under 24) and readers of the portal to take snaps of deputies on their way to work. | Raha ny fahalinana nanaraka ny lahatsoratr'i Bolotbekova, Kloop.kg dia nanentana ireo andianà mpanao gazety tanora ao aminy (izay ambanin'ny 24 taona daholo) sy ny mpamaky azy ao amin'ny vavahadim-baovaony mba haka sary ireo solombavambahoaka eny an-dàlana hamonjy asa aman-draharaha. |
26 | The results were displayed as follows (example): | Ny results dia navoaka toy izao manaraka izao (ohatra): |
27 | Azamat Arapbaev, MP of the faction Ata-Jurt, goes to work in a “Lexus LX570″, 2008 model, with the registration number 0028 KG. | Azamat Arapbaev, MP avy amin'ny vondrona Ata-Jurt, dia ao anaty fiara “Lexus LX570″, maodely 2008, mitondra ny laharana 0028 KG no mandeha mamonjy ny toeram-piasany. |
28 | According to [current information], this brand of car changes hands for USD 87,000. | Araka ny ambara [vaova amin'izao fotoana], ity karazana fiara ity dia misanda USD 87,000 raha miova tompo. |
29 | To afford this car - without eating anything and living on the street - would take: - An MP on an official salary: 4.5 to 6.5 years - The average working resident of Bishkek: from 22 to 33.5 years | Mba hividianana io fiara io - sady tsy mihinana na inona na inona, no eny an-dalambe no monina - dia andaniana : - karama ofisialinà MP iray : 4.5 hatramin'ny 6.5 taona - ho an'ny sarambaben'ny mpiasa monina ao Bishkek: 22 hatramin'ny 33.5 taona |
30 | The article, featuring fifteen such profiles, generated a stream of comments from netizens, who via Kloop's Facebook plugin either chose to defend specific MPs as “honest” or move in for the kill with complaints about graft and inequality. | Ilay lahatsoratra, izay manasongadina dimiambinifolo mitovy amin'izay, dia niteraka onjam-panehoan-kevitra avy amin'ireo mpiondana aterineto, izay tamin'ny alalan'ny rindrambaiko kely ao amin'ny pejy Facebook-n'ny Kloop dia nisafidy ny hiaro MPs voafaritra ho toy ny “olo-mendrika” na mikisaka mankany amin'ny fanapahan-doha miaraka amin'ny fitarainana mikasika ny fandrrarirana sy ny tsy fitoviana. |
31 | Tynchtyk Maldybaev posted ironically: | Tynchtyk Maldybaev dia nampakatra tamim-panarabiana hoe : |
32 | But why do you [speak] badly of our deputies, they are the demigods, the Kyrgyz representatives of God on earth, they only think of the people | Fa dia nahoana ianareo no [miteny] manaratsy ny solombavambahoakantsika e, andriamanitra amin'ny ampahany anie ireo e, ny olomboafidy Kyrgyz solontenan'Andriamanitra eto an-tany, tsy mihevitra afa-tsy ny vahoaka izy ireo. |
33 | Another reader, Isken, quoted the English historian Lord Acton: | Mpamaky iray hafa, Isken, no nitanisa Anglisy iray mpahay tantara, Lord Acton: |
34 | For we know that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely | Satria fantatsika fa manimba saina ny fahefàna ary ny fahefàna tapitr'ohatra dia faran'izay tena manimba saina. |
35 | But while some readers strained to calculate how long it would take them to own a Lexus, others suggested that the piece had attempted to bias the people against the ruling elite. | Saingy raha ny sasany amin'ny mpamaky variana mikajy ny fotoana mety ho laniny mba hahafany mividy Lexus iray, ny hafa kosa manoso-kevitra hoe ilay lahatsoratra dia nikendrena ny hanosehana ny vahoaka hankahala ireo mpitondra. |
36 | In response to these accusations, Kloop Editor Anna Leilik replied: | -ho setrin'ireny fiampangana ireny, dia namaly i Anna Leilik , mpamoaka lahatsoratry ny Kloop hoe : |
37 | We had no goals to show MPs in a positive or negative light. | Tsy tanjonay mihitsy ny haneho izay mahatsara na maharatsy ireo MPs ireo. |
38 | You probably noticed we did not have the same number of deputies from different factions - the cars were randomly selected. | Inoana fa voamarikareo hoe tsy mitovy isa ny solombavambahoakantsika avy amin'ireo vondrona politika samihafa - natao antsapaka no nifidianana ireo fiara. |
39 | We wanted to compare data from different sources with the photos. | Nitady izay hampitahana ny angona avy tamin'ireo loharano samihafa amin'ireo sary fotsiny izahay. |
40 | With regard to the [costs of the cars] and the salaries, they are publically available online, and the same thing we did - calculate - anybody could have done. | Miaraka amin'ny fijerena ny [vidin'ny fiara] sy ny karama, azon'ny rehetra jerena ao anaty aterineto izany, ary ny zavatra tsy misy hafa amin'izany izay nataonay - nikajy - dia na iza na iza afaka manao izany avokoa. |
41 | From private armies to public transport | Miainga amin'ny miaramila manokana ka hatramin'ny fitateram-bahoaka |
42 | Views on the moral character of MPs not withstanding, the very fact that the Kyrgyz parliament is debating such changes marks a massive shift from April of last year, when former house speaker Akhmatbek Keldibekov proposed legislation that would allow lawmakers and their personal bodyguards to carry weapons in and around the parliament. | Avahantsika ny toe-tsaina ara-moralin'ireo MPs tsy mahari-boa-kena, ny zava-misy amin'ny hoe ny parlemanta Kyrgyz dia miady hevitra amin-javatra tahaka izany dia manamarika fiovàna goavana hnanomboka tamin'ny Aprily tamin'ny taona lasa, rehefa nandray fitenenana ilay mpitondra tenin'ny antenimiera,Akhmatbek Keldibekov dia nanao tolo-dalàna izay manome alàlana ireo mpanao lalàna mba hanana mpiaro manokana mitam-piadiana ao anatiny sy eny ivelan'ny parlemanta. |
43 | Back then, a Kloop poll showed a vast majority of portal users as being opposed to the legislation, while several who supported it did so only for the bloodiest of reasons. | Tamin'izany fotoana, fitsapan-kevitra iray nataon'ny Kloop no nampiseho fa ny ankamaroan'ireo mpampiasa ilay vavahadin-tseraserany no nanohitra ilay lalàna, raha maro koa ireo nanohana izany fotsiny noho ny antony manjavozavo sy mamitaka. |
44 | One user, Nurbek, commented: | Iray amin'ireo mpampiasa i Nurbek nanamarika hoe: |
45 | I am FOR this law. | Izaho dia MANKASITRAKA io lalàna io. |
46 | Let them shoot at each other in the Jogorku Kenesh | Avelao ry zalahy hifampitifitra ao Jogorku Kenesh |
47 | Clearly, less than 12 months down the line, the legislature is a changed place. | Mazava be, 12 volana latsaka aty aoriana, niova lasy tanteraka ny Mpanao lalàna. |
48 | It has a new ruling coalition, a new speaker, and its members are pondering the need to swap the “parliamentary fleet” for a communal shuttle. | Manana fiaraha-mitantana vaovao, mpitondra teny vaovao, ary ireo mpikambana ao aminy dia mandinika ny hamadihana ny “flotte parlemantera” ho fitaterana iraisana. |
49 | Somewhere in all this there is a reality TV show waiting to happen. | Any antsefantsefany any dia misy resaka hanaovana tafa mivantana amin'ny fahitalavitra miandry fotsiny izay higadonany. |
50 | N.B.: Coincidentally, Akhmatbek Keldibekov left the speaker's office amidst a scandal surrounding the distribution of the special ‘KG' registration plates. | N.B.: Toa kisendrasendra ihany, Akhmatbek Keldibekov dia nandao ny toeran'ny mpitondra teny tao anatinà savorovoro manodidina ny fitsinjarana ny laharam-pamantarana manokana ho an'ireo ‘KG'. |
51 | Ranging from the presidential plate (KG 001) to less prestigious registrations in the KG hundreds, these items are something of a status symbol in Kyrgyzstan and usually get you past traffic cops without any bother. | Miainga amin'ny laharam-pamantarana ny an'ny fiadidiana ny fitondrana (KG 001) mankany amin'ireo laharana KG an-jatony tsy dia manao ahoana loatra, ireny zavatra ireny dia manome endrika tsanganana iray ao Kyrgyzstan ary mazàna no manme anao fahafahana miserana tsy amin'ahiahy an'ireo mpitandro filaminana mandrindra ny fifamoivoizana. |
52 | What plates the proposed “faction buses” will carry is as yet unknown. | Mbola mijanona ho ankamantatra ny hoe laharana toy inona no hipetaka amin'ireo “aotobisin-dry zareo”. |
