16 | One night of their stay [in luxurious foreign hotels] costs as much as it would cost to provide shelter for those who still live in caves. | Alina iray amin'ny fivahinianany [amin'ireo hotely vahiny raitra] dia efa mitentina lafo dia lafo tokoa mitovy sanda amin'ny tokony hahavitàna fialofana ho an'ireo izay mbola miaina anaty lavabato hatramin'izao. |

18 | Foreign countries have provided Afghanistan with billions of dollars in aid. | Nanome fanampiana an-davitrisa dolara ho an'i Afganistana ireo firenena vahiny. |
19 | Yet many Afghans believe [fa, pdf] that most of the aid money ends up in the pockets of high-ranking government officials. | Kanefa marobe ireo Afgana no mino [fa, pdf] fa betsaka tamin'ireo fanampiana ara-bola no lasa any anaty paoketran'ireo manampahefana ambony ao amin'ny governemanta. |

32 | Daily Outlook Afghanistan explained why corruption persists: | “Daily Outlook Afghanistan” nanazava ny antony mbola mampizizotra ny kolikoly: |
33 | [C]orruption has cracked Afghanistan from within. | Mihinana an'i Afganistana avy ao anatiny lalina [ny] kolikoly. |
34 | This is because there has been no consistent effort to curb it in the last eleven years. | Ny antony dia satria tsy nisy mihitsy ezaka mivaingana hamongorana azy ity tato anatin'ny iraikambinifolo taona lasa. |
35 | Those who are involved in embezzlement of billions of dollars roam freely inside and outside Afghanistan as their affiliation with certain strong political figures turns out to be heavier than Afghan laws. | Ireo izay voarohirohy tamin'ny fanodinkodinana dolara an-davitrisa dia miriaria malalaka ao anatiny sy ivelan'i Afganistana noho ny fifandraisany amin'ny sasantsasany amin'ireo mpanao politka manana tanjaka mavesatra lavitra noho ny lalàna Afgana. |
36 | While the Afghanistan National Reconciliation group on Facebook proposed a radical solution to corruption: | Raha ny vondrona Facebook ho Fampihavanam-Pirenena Ao Afganistana kosa nanolotra vahaolana henjana amin'ny resaka kolikoly : |
37 | No doubt Afghanistan falls in that [bottom] category, but what can be done to clean Afghanistan from corruption? | Tsy isalasalàna fa nitontona ho anatin'izany sokajy [farany ambany] izany i Afganistana, nefa inona no azo atao hanadiovana an'i Afganistana amin'ny kolikoly? |
38 | The answer is; Afghanistan should have a non-corrupt leader who can hang a couple of corrupt individuals and that will be the end of corruption in Afghanistan. | Ny valiny dia ; tokony hànana mpitondra tsy manao kolikoly i Afganistana, mpitondra izay afaka hanapaingotra ireo mpanao kolikoly ary dia izay no ho vita ny amin'ny kolikoly eto Afganistana. |
