4 | Thailand's draft constitution was rejected by members of the National Reform Council (NRC) which paves the way for continued military rule in the country. | Nolavin'ireo mpikambana amin'ny Filankevitra Nasiônaly ho an'ny Fanovàna (NRC) ilay volavolan-dalàm-panorenana, izay manokatra ny làlana ho an'ny fitohizan'ny fitondrana miaramila ao amin'ny firenena. |
5 | When the military staged a coup last year, it vowed to implement political reforms before conducting elections. | Raha nanao fanonganam-panjakana ny miaramila ny taona lasa iny dia nampanantena ny hametraka fanovàna ara-politika mialoha ny hanaovana ireo fifidianana. |
6 | As part of the normalization process, it drafted a constitution which is supposed to restore civilian rule in the country. | Tafiditra amin'ny ampahan'ny zotra tokony lalovana, nanao drafitra lalàmpanorenana io, izay noheverina hamerina ny fitondràna sivily teo amin'ny firenena. |
7 | But on September 6, 2015, the NRC voted to reject the draft constitution. | Nefa ny 6 Septambra 2015, nifidy ny handà ilay drafitra lalàmpanorenana ny NRC. |
8 | Members of the NRC were appointed by the military-backed government. | Ny governemanta tohanan'ny miaramila no nanendry ireo mpikambana ao amin'ny NRC. |

10 | Because of the NRC's negative vote, the government has to form another Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) within 30 days, and that committee will be given 180 days to draft another constitution. | Noho ny fifidianana fitsipahana nataon'ny NRC, tokony hanangana Kaomitin'ny Lalàmpanorenana (CDC) vaovao ato anatin'ny 30 andro ny governemanta, ary homena 180 andro ilay kaomity hananganany drafitra lalàmpanorenana iray hafa vaovao indray. |
11 | The new draft will be subject to a referendum process. | Hanaovana fitsapankevitra ilay drafitra vaovao. |
12 | If it is passed, the draft will be submitted to the king for his signature. | Raha lany io, alefa any amin'ny mpanjaka ilay lalàna mba ho soniavina. |
13 | Then the CDC will draw up new laws for the constitution which will be reviewed by the National Legislative Assembly and the Constitutional Court. | Avy eo, hanao lalàna vaovao ho an'ny lalampanorenana ny CDC, izay hojeren'ny Antenimieram-pirenena Mpanao Lalàna ary ny Fitsaràna Momba ny Lalàmpanorenana. |
14 | This will be followed by the election of a House of Representatives in March 2017. | Harahan'ny fifidianana ny Solotena ao amin'ny Antenimiera izany ny Martsa 2017. |
15 | This means that the military government will remain in power for more than a year and a half. | Midika izany fa mbola hijanona eo amin'ny fitondrana ihany ny governemanta miaramila ato anatin'ny fotoana maherin'ny taona iray sy tapany. |

18 | But even before the NRC vote took place, many activists and scholars had criticized the draft constitution. | Fa na talohan'ny nanaovan'ny NRC ny fifidianan'ny aza, marobe ireo mpikatroka mafana fo sy mpianatra eny amin'ny anjerimanontlo nitsikera ilay drafitry ny lalàmpanorenana. |
19 | The Thai Lawyers for Human Rights Group pointed out that the drafting process of the constitution was not legitimate. | Nanipika ireo Vondrona Thailandey Mpiaro ny Zon'olombelona fa tsy ara-dalàna ny fizotry ny fanaovana ilay drafitra lalàmpanorenana. |
20 | It emphasized that the document was drafted without a public referendum or approval from people's representatives. | Nohamafisiny fa narafitra tsy nisy fitsapankevi-bahoaka na fanekena avy amin'ireo solotenam-bahoaka akory ilay antontan-taratasy. |
21 | Members of the CDC do not represent the public since they were merely appointed by the military. | Tsy misolotena ny vahoaka ireo mpikambana amin'ny CDC satria izy ireo notendren'ny miaramila. |
22 | Concerning the content of the draft charter, the group cited a provision which allows for the appointment of civil servants through a ‘moral system' which has been vaguely defined. | Mikasika ny votoatin'ilay drafitra sata indray, notanisain'ilay vondrona ny andinin-dalàna iray manome fahafahana amin'ny fanendrena mpiasam-panjakana sivily avy amin'ny alalan'ny ‘rafitra ara-moraly' izay tsy dia voafaritra mazava tsara,. |
23 | There's also article 45, which only grants limited protection to residents without citizenship. | Misy ihany koa ny andalana faha 45, izay manome fiarovana voafetra ho an'ireo mponina tsy mizaka ny zom-pirenena. |
24 | The group added that the draft constitution limits the political participation of citizens as well as the roles of people's representatives. | Nanampy ilay vondrona fa mametra ny fandraisan'ireo olom-pirenena anjara sy ny anjaran'ny solontenan'ny vahoaka ilay drafitra lalàmpanorenana. |
25 | For instance, the proposed charter does not require the prime minister to be a member of Parliament as two-thirds of the Lower House are allowed to nominate any citizen for the position. | Ohatra, tsy nitaky ny tokony haha-mpikambana ny praiminisitra ao anatin'ny Parliemanta ilay sata natolotra, satria afaka manondro olon-tsotra ho eo amin'ny toerana ny roa ampahatelon'ny Antenimieran'ny solombavambahoaka. |
26 | The draft constitution also proposes the creation of a powerful National Strategic Committee for Reform and Reconciliation (crisis panel) which will be given the mandate to veto laws passed by the Parliament. | Nanoso-kevitra ny hananganana Kaomity Stratejika Nasiônaly matanjaka ho an'ny Fanovàna sy ny Fampihavanana (mpiresaka ny olana) ihany koa ilay drafitra lalàmpanorenana, izay homena ny fahefana hitsipaka lalàna nolanian'ny Parliemanta. |
27 | Moreover, this group can launch a ‘righteous' coup and take over the government in case of a state of emergency or ‘special circumstance'. | Ho fanampin'izay, afaka manao fanonganam-panjakana ‘ara-drariny' io vondrona io, ary maka ny fahefana raha toa ka misy filazàna tany misahotaka na ‘antony manokana'. |
28 | As expected, the crisis panel is an appointed body composed of military leaders, the president of the parliament, the prime minister, and experts. | Araka ny efa novinavinaina, ny olona mpiresaka ny olana dia ahitàna ireo mpitarika miaramila, ny filohan'ny parliemanta, ny praiminisitra ary ireo manampahaizana. |
29 | Dr. Likit Teeravekin, professor of political science from Thammasat University, warns against this so-called crisis panel: | Dr. Likit Teeravekin, manampahaizana sy mpampianatra ny siansa politika ao amin'ny Anjerimanontolo Thammasat, nampitandrina amin'io lazaina ho mpiresaka ny kirizy io: |
30 | Article 280 grants immense power to the Guardians, meaning that election will simply be meaningless. | Omen'ny Andalana faha-280 fahefana goavana ireo Mpiambina, midika izany fa tsy misy dikany tsotra izao akory ny fifidianana. |
31 | Worajet Pakeerat, another professor of Thammasat, describes the said provision as a threat to democracy: | Worajet Pakeerat, mpampianatra iray hafa avy amin'ny Thammasat, milaza io andinin-dalàna io ho loza mitatao ho an'ny demôkrasia: |
32 | This draft constitution will eventually establish a mechanism which will sustain the power of undemocratic entities over the democratic ones. | Hametraka rafitra mandeha ho azy izay hampaharitra sy hanohana ny fahefan'ireo antokon-draharaha tsy demôkratika manoloana ireo demôkratika io volavolan-dalàmpanorenana io. |
33 | A few days before the NRC voting session, activists from the anti-junta group called Resistant Citizen held a protest in Bangkok and urged the people to ‘Vote No' against the draft constitution if a referendum were to take place. | Andro vitsy nialoha ny fifidianan'ny NRC, nanao hetsi-panoherana tany Bangkok ireo mpikatroka mafana fo avy amin'ny vondrona manohitra ny junta, antsoina hoe Olon-tsotra Mpanohitra, ary nanainga ny vahoaka ‘Hifidy ny Tsia' amin'ilay volavolan-dalàm-panorenana raha hisy fitsapankevi-bahoaka hatao. |
34 | Protest poster inviting the people to reject the 2015 draft constitution. | Takelaka manohitra, manainga ireo vahoaka handà ilay volavolan-dalàm-panorenana 2015. |
35 | The person in the poster is former army chief and now Prime Minister Prayut. | Lehibe taloha tao amin'ny tafika ary Praiminisitra ankehitriny i Prayut, ilay olona hita eo amin'ny takelaka. |

37 | Whether a new draft constitution will be approved or rejected this year, what is clear is that the military will continue to stay in power while reforms are held in abeyance. | Na ho lany na ho lavina ilay volavolan-dalàm-panorenana vaovao amin'ity taona ity, ny zavatra mazava dia hitohy hijanona eo amin'ny fitondrana ihany ny miaramila raha mbola mihantona kosa ireo fanovàna. |
