4 | As Kenyans gear up for the presidential elections in less than 90 days, technology is proving to be a friend and foe to the many politicians embroiled in political musical chairs by changing alliances faster than ordinary Kenyans can comprehend. | Satria miomana hiatrika fifidianana izay ho filoham-pirenena ry zareo Keniana ato anatin'ny 90 andro, noporofoin'ny teknolojia ny sady maha-namana no maha-fahavalo azy ho an'ireo maro mpanao politika voarohirohy amin'ny fitadiavan-tseza politika malaky miova tarika iarahana, izay tsy vitan'ireo Keniana tsotra ny manakatra azy. |
5 | It started with establishing a presence online for the presidential contenders. | Nanomboka tamin'ny fanamariham-pisiana ety anaty aterineto ho an'ireo maniry hirotsaka ho filoha izy ity. |
6 | Indeed many were caught flat footed when statistics available on Social Bakers website revealed that Kenya has more than 2 million registered users on Facebook alone. | Tena marina fa maro ireo tsy nahita hodiavina rehefa nivoaka ho hitan'ny rehetra nanabaribary ny tao anaty tranonkala Social Bakers fa i Kenya dia manana mpisera maherin'ny 2 tapitrisa ho an'ny Facebook manokana. |
7 | Many Kenyans are now using the internet for entertainment as well as for alternative news and information. | Marobe ny Keniana ankehitriny no mampiasa ny aterineto ho fialamboly ka hatramin'ny ho safidy hafa hikaroham-baovao. |
8 | The race thus began and many presidential contenders started opening Facebook and Twitter accounts, with no strategy or understanding of how to effectively use new media. | Nanomboka araka izany ny hazakazaka ary betsaka ireo maniry ny ho filoha no nanomboka nanokatra kaonty Facebook sy Twitter, ny ankamaroany tsy manana tetikady ary tsy mahafantatra akory ny tena fomba fampiasa ity media vaovao ity. |
9 | The Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) in collaboration with the Registrar of Political parties published lists of party members registered in each political party on the IEBC website complete with a page where Kenyans could query the database of registered members for each political party. | Ny Kaomisiona Keniana Mahaleotena Momba ny Fifidianana Sy Ny Vakim-paritra - Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) - miaraka amin'ny Mpandrakitra ireo antoko Politika dia namoaka ny lisitr'ireo mpikambana anaty antoko politika, isaky ny antoko politika tsirairay avy, tao amin'ny tranonkalan'ny IEBC, feno pejy iray izay azon'ireo Keniana anaovana fangatahana ny angon-drakitra momba ireo mpikambana voasoratra isaky ny antoko politika tsirairay. |
10 | It has now emerged that many political parties stole National Identification details of unsuspecting Kenyans and went ahead to register them as their party members. | Nivoitra tamin'izany àry fa marobe ankehitriny ireo antoko politika no nangalatra ny antsipirihany avy amin'ny Kara-panondrom-pirenen'ireo Keniana tsy misy ahiahy ary dia nanao hitsin-dàlana nanoratra azy ireny ho toy ny mpikambana ao anatin'ny antokon-dry zareo. |
11 | This was in a bid for them to meet the mandatory number of registered members per county before the given deadline. | Ny tanjon-dry zareo tamin'izany dia ny hanatratra ny isan'ny mpikambana tsy maintsy ananana isaky ny vakim-paritra alohan'ny hahatongavan'ny fe-potoana farany voatondro. |
12 | News of this fraud broke on Twitter on Thursday 3 January, 2013 when Larry Madowo, a journalist working with one of Kenya's leading media houses Nation Media Group tweeted that he had been illegally registered as a party member. | Vaky tao amin'ny Twitter ny vaovao momba ity hosoka ity tamin'ny tolakandron'ny Alakamisy 3 Janoary, rehefa nibitsika i Larry Madowo, mpanao gazety niasa niaraka tamin'ny iray amin'ireo trano mpamoaka vaovao isan'ny lohany ao Kenya, ny Nation Media Group, fa hoe nisy nandrakitra tamin'ny fomba tsy ara-dalàna ho toy ny mpikambana anaty antoko politika iray ny tenany. |
13 | Larry, a victim of this fraud by The National Alliance Party (TNA) whose presidential candidate is the son of Kenya's first President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta confronted Uhuru Kenyatta on Twitter seeking an explanation. | Larry, niharan'ity hosoka nataon'ny “The National Alliance Party (TNA)” ity, izay ny zanaka lahin'ny Filoha Keniana voalohany Mzee Jomo Kenyatta no mpirotsaka ho fidiana atolony, dia nifandona nangata-panazavana tamin'i Uhuru Kenyatta tao amin'ny Twitter . |
14 | Kenya's Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta whose party is accused of registering fake members. | Ny Praiministra lefitra ao Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta, izany ny antokony no ampangaina ho manoratra mpikambana hosoka. |

16 | @LarryMadowo: I've never joined any party yet @TNAParty STOLE my details & ILLEGALLY registered me to their party. | @LarryMadowo: Tsy mbola niditra taminà antoko politika velively aho hatrizay, NANGALATRA ny antsipirihany momba ahy ny @TNAParty & nanoratra ahy tamin'ny fomba TSY ARA-DALANA ho ao amin'ny antokon-dry zareo. |
17 | Disgusting cheats! pic.twitter.com/AK1ybcdp | Mpisoloky mankaloiloy! pic.twitter.com/AK1ybcdp |
18 | @LarryMadowo: Dear @UKenyatta, how am I registered member of your party when I never did so? | @LarryMadowo: Ry @UKenyatta malala, tamin'ny fomba ahoana no naha-mpikambana ahy voasoratra ao amin'ny antokonao nefa aho tsy nanao izany velively? |
19 | Is that the integrity we should expect from your presidency? | Izany ve no fahamendrehana tokony handrandrainay avy amin'ny fitantanana maha-filoha anao? |
20 | @LarryMadowo: Enter your ID number here http://iebc.or.ke/rpp/ to check if any party (I'm looking at you @TNAParty) has registered you fraudulently | @LarryMadowo: Ampidiro eto ny laharan'ny karapanondronareo http://iebc.or.ke/rpp/ hijerena raha misy antoko politika (ianareo @TNAParty no banjiniko amin'izany) nandrakitra anareo tamin'ny fomba tsy ara-dalàna. |
21 | A Twitter hashtag #FakePartyMembersKe was quickly created as it emerged that Larry was not the only victim. | Noforonina haingana ny tenifototra #FakePartyMembersKe tao amin'ny Twitter rehefa nipongatra fa hoe tsy i Larry irery ihany no tratran'izany. |
22 | Many more Kenyans online proceeded to the IEBC link to verify if they have been registered under any party without their consent with those who had fallen victim revealing details of the parties that had registered them fraudulently. | Marobe tamin'ireo Keniana ety anaty aterineto no nandeha nitsidika ilay rohin'ny IEBC mba hanamarina raha toa ry zareo ka voasoratra any anaty antoko politika any, tsy nisy fankatoavana avy amin'izy ireo akory, miaraka amin'ireo izay tratra ary namoaka ny antsipirihany mikasika ireo antoko politika izay nandrakitra azy ireo tamin'ny fomba tsy ara-dalàna. |
23 | @WandiriK: #FakePartyMembersKE my passport number and Id number have not been registered to any party. | @WandiriK: #FakePartyMembersKE tsy voasoratra amin'antoko na aiza na aiza ny laharan'ny pasipaoro sy ny karapanondroko. |
24 | I advice you check both. | Torohevitro ho anareo ny hijerena azy roa ireo. |
25 | In a bid to respond to the allegations that the TNA party had engaged in fraud while registering its party members, the party's chairman Sakaja Johnson responded on Twitter with the following comments: | Ao anatin'ny ezaka hamaliana ireo fiampangàna hoe ny antoko TNA dia niditra tamin'ny fanaovana hosoka raha nanoratra ireo mpikambana ao amin'ny antokony, ny filohan'ilay antoko, Sakaja Johnson , dia namaly tao amin'ny Twitter tamin'ireto fanehoankevitra ireto : |
26 | @SakajaJohnson: @KumekuchaPhil This is a useless ploy by parties that have not been able to capture the imagination of Kenyans. | @SakajaJohnson: @KumekuchaPhil Tetika tsy misy ilàna azy io ataon'ny antoko politika tsy mahavita maka ny fon'ny Keniana. |
27 | #fakepartymemberske | #fakepartymemberske |
28 | The Chairman then proceeded to accuse the electoral body of being behind the fraud. | Avy eo ilay filohan'antoko dia niditra tamin'ny fiampangàna ny mpikarakara ny fifidianana ho tao ambadik'ilay hosoka. |
29 | It has emerged that other political parties have been involved as well but none of the other parties have made any comment. | Nivoitra fa voarohirohy ihany koa ireo antoko politika sasany saingy tsy nisy na iray aza naneho hevitra. |
30 | @SakajaJohnson: @LarryMadowo why don't you ask the @iebcpage how many ways one can get registered into a party. | @SakajaJohnson: @LarryMadowo maninona ianao no tsy manontany ny @iebcpage hoe fomba toy inona avy no azon'ny olona iray hisoratana anarana aminà antoko. |
31 | It is a system that is open to many | Rafitra iray misokatra ho an'ny maro io. |
32 | The story was picked up by Kenya's media houses and now it has boiled down to the TNA party trading accusations with IEBC over the stability and security of the software that was used in the membership registration exercise. | Notsaingohan'ireo trano famoahan-gazety ao Kenya ilay tantara ary ankehitriny dia fintinina amin'ny hoe fiampangàn'ny antoko TNA miaraka amin'ny IEBC momba ny resaka fahamarinan-toerana sy ny fahazoana antoka an'ireo rindrambaiko izay nampiasaina tamin'ny asa fandraketana ireo mpikambana anaty antoko. |
33 | This is despite the electoral body revealing that each party was provided with unique logon details and that data can only be input by the party officials. | Izany dia na dia efa navoakan'ny rafitra miahy ny fifidianana aza fa hoe ny antoko tsirairay dia samy nomena fanalahidy tokana hidirany sy ny hoe ny manampahefana ao anatin'ny antoko irery ihany no hany afaka mampiditra ny rakitra. |
34 | The IEBC went on to reveal that it had obtained details of IP addresses in cases where fake members were registered. | Ny IEBC dia tonga hatramin'ny famoahana fa hoe nahazo adiresy IP ry zareo raha misy tranga nisian'ny fanoratana mpikambana hosoka. |
35 | The matter is yet to be resolved as the IEBC has not confirmed how it will deal with the parties. | Ny olana anefa dia mbola tsy voavaha satria ny IEBC tsy mbola namaly ny amin'izay fomba hataony hifandraisana amin'ireo antoko. |
36 | Kenyans have been vigorously engaging political aspirants online especially through Twitter seeking to know their stand on issues affecting constituencies the politicians are vying for. | Tena nitàna mafy an'ireo mpirotsaka ety anaty aterineto ireo Keniana, indrindra fa tao amin'ny Twitter, hikatsahany hahafantatra ny hevitr'izy ireny manoloana ireo olana samihafa mahakasika ny vondrona izay ifaninanan'ireo mpanao politika. |
37 | @RasDunkie13 @RailaOdinga Happy new year bwana PM. | @RasDunkie13 @RailaOdinga Arahabaina nahatratra ny taona ry PM. |
38 | What is your specific plan for the public transport system … will you kill matatus? | Inona no drafitrao manokana mikasika ny rafi-pitateram-bahoaka… hamono ny matatus? |
39 | Online media will most definitely play a huge part in informing many Kenyans and allowing them to challenge politicians in ways that have never been seen before. | Azo antoka fa hitàna ampahan-toerana goavana ny media anaty aterineto amin'ny fizaràm-baovao ho an'ny Keniana marobe sy ahafahan-dry zareo hanao fanamby amin'ireo mpirotsaka ara-politika, mihoatra lavitra noho izay efa hita tany aloha. |
40 | The onus is now on the electoral body to answer the Kenyan voter, who more informed than ever before and is demanding answers. | Any amin'ny rafitra mpikarakara fifidianana ny baolina ankehitriny hamaliany ireo Keniana mpifidy mahafantatra tsara ny vaovao ka mitaky valinteny. |
