1‘How Much Are You Paid?’‘Karamaina Ohatrinona Ianareo?’
2Young Nigerians Ask Their Members of ParliamentHoy Ireo Tanora Nizeriana Manontany Ny Mpikambana Ao Amin'ny Parlemantany
3On September 27, 2013, hundreds of Nigerian youths took to the streets, or rather to the chambers of the National Assembly to air their grievances about the bloated income and allowances of their lawmakers.Ny 27 Septambra 2013, anjatony ireo tanora Nizeriana no nidina an-dalambe, na ny marina kokoa nankany amin'ny tranon'ny Antenimieram-Pirenena mba haneho ny tsy hafalian-dry zareo mikasika ny karama midangana sy ny tombontsoa omena ireo mpanao lalàna.
4#OurNASS (Our National Assembly) was an initiative of Nigerian civil society group Enough is Enough and some Nigerian netizens.#OurNASS (Our National Assembly) dia hetsika iray an'ny vondron'ny fiarahamonim-pirenena Nizeriana Enough is Enough (Ampy tena ampy) sy Nizeriana mpisera anaty aterineto vitsivitsy.
5They demanded for more financial openness from an opaque legislature:Takian-dry zareo ny hisian'ny fisokafana bebe kokoa amin'ny resa-bola avy amin'ny sampana mpanao lalàna manjavozavo ity :
6DEMANDANGATAHANAY
7Determining the exact figure that the legislator earns, like most issues that require accurate data in Nigeria, is almost “mission impossible”.Ny hamaritra marina ny tarehimariky ny vola azon'ny mpanao lalàna, tahaka ny ankamaroan'ireo olana izay mila angon-drakitra mitombina/azo antoka tsara ao Nizera, dia azo lazaina ho “iraka tsy ho efa”.
8However, Nigerian blogger and public commentator Akin Akintayo offers insight:Na izany aza anefa, i Akin Akintayo Nizeriana bilaogera sady mpikirakira vaovao dia manome tsipalotra toy izao :
9Getting round the inscrutability of the remuneration for Nigerian legislators has been a completely fraught exercise that none of the organisations with the function of regulating such appear to have a handle on.Ny hiodidinana ny sakana tsy hahafahana mijery ny karaman'ireo Nizeriana mpanao lalàna dia asa sarotra tanteraka izay tsy misy na iray aza amin'ireo fikambanana manana anjara asa fanaraha-maso mahavita mandray an-tànana azy.
10However, when the Economist blew the lid off the exorbitant salary packages of the Nigerian Senators a few weeks ago as I wrote in this blog, the uproar that followed especially on social media meant that it was impossible to ignore and something had to be done.Kanefa, rehefa nabaribarin'ny “The Economist” ny karama mihoam-pampanan'ireo Loholona Nizeriana herinandro vitsy lasa izao, tahaka izay nosoratako ao amin'ity bilaogy ity, dia nanaraka avy hatrany ny fampiakaram-peo, indrindra fa tety anivon'ny media sosialy izay nidika hoe tsy ho vita ny hinia tsy mahalala ary misy zavatra tsy maintsy hatao.
11What did the Economist reveal?Inona no naboraky ny “The Economist” ?
12Writing in Nigeria Village Square, Femi Ajayi explains:Amin'ny fanoratana tao amin'ny “Nigeria Village Square”, manazava i Femi Ajayi :
13The Economist magazine revealed that Nigeria federal legislators, with a basic salary of $189,500.00 per annum (N30.Ny gazetiboky “The Economist” dia namoaka ho fantatry ny rehetra fa ireo mpanao lalàna federaly Nizeriana, miaraka amin'ny vatakaràna $189,500.00 isan-taona (N30.
146m), are the highest paid lawmakers in the world.6m), no mpanao lalàna be karama indrindra eran'izao tontolo izao.
15It looked at the lawmakers' basic salary as a ratio of the Gross Domestic Product per person across the world.Ny nijereny ny vatakaraman'ireo mpanao lalàna dia toa ny fampitahàna ny Harin-Karena Faobe isam-batan'olona manerana izao tontolo izao.
16According to the report, the basic salary (which excludes despicable allowances); of a Nigerian lawmaker is 116 times the country's GDP per person of $1,600.00.Araka ilay tatitra, ny vatakaraman'ny Nizeriana iray mpanao lalàna (tsy tafiditra anatin'izany ireo tamby azo tsinontsinoavina) dia in-116 avo heny amin'ny Harin-Karena Faobe isam-batan'olona ao amin'ilay firenena $1,600.00.
17In another report, the 469 federal lawmakers (109 senators and 360 members of the House of Representatives) cost Nigeria over N76 billion on annual salaries, allowances and quarterly payments.Anaty tatitra iray hafa, ireo 469 mpanao lalàna federaly (loholona 109 ary 360 mpikambana ao amin'ny antsoina hoe Chambre des Représentants) dia andoavan'i Nizeria maherin'ny 76 lavitrisa Nairas karama isan-taona, tamby sy vola fandray isan-telovolana.
18Each member of the 54 standing Senate committee, receives a monthly imprest of between N648 million and N972 million per year, while, a member of the HOR receives N35 million or N140 million as quarterly or yearly allowances; which means conservatively the 25 per cent of the overhead of the nation's budget goes to the NASS.Ny mpikambana tsirairay amin'ireo kaomisiona 54 mijoro ao anatin'ny Antenimieran-doholona dia mandray vola isam-bolana eo anelanelan'ny 648 tapitrisa Nairas sy 972 tapitrisa Nairas isan-taona, raha ho an'ny mpikambana ao amin'ny Chambre des Représentants kosa 35 tapitrisa Nairas hatramin'ny 140 tapitrisa nairas ny tambin-karama isan-telovolana na isan-taona; izay midika fa vinavinaina ho eo amin'ny 25 isan-jaton'ny fandaniana ankapobeny amin'ny tetibolan'ny firenena no lasa mankany amin'ny Antenimieram-Pirenena (NASS).
19Ameh Ejekwonyilo in an op-ed in Rise Networks (a Nigerian social enterprise with bias for youths and ICT) recalls that:Ameh Ejekwonyilo ao anatin'ny matoan-dahatsoratry ny Rise Networks (orinasa sosialy Nizeriana iray manome vàhana ny tanora sy ny TIC) dia mampahatsiahy fa :
20[…] one will understand the reason why the National Assembly members were asking for the head of Lamido Sanusi Lamido, the Central Bank governor, who once said that the Federal lawmakers take about 50 per cent of our National Budget.[…] ho takatry ny tsirairay ny antony nitakian'ireo mpikambana ao amin'ny Antenimieram-Pirenena ny hanaisorana an'i Lamido Sanusi Lamido, Governoran'ny Banky Foibe, izay niteny indray andro izay hoe 50 isan-jato amin'ny tetibolam-panjakana no lasan'ireo mpanao lalàna federaly.
21If you juxtapose the above figures with our current budget, you will see clearly that the National Assembly members are the albatross of Nigeria; because they legislate on, and appropriate public funds to themselves, thereby looting the masses blind.Raha ampivadianao ny tarehimarika tery ambony amin'ny tetibolantsika amin'izao fotoana izao, hohitanao mazava fa ireo mpikambana ao amin'ny Antenimieram-Pirenena no tena vesatra ho an'i Nizeria; satria ry zareo no mandidy amin'ny volam-bahoaka, ary maka ny volam-bahoka ho azy ireo manokana, manao tantely afa-drakotra mangalatra amin'ireo vahoaka jamba.
22The reaction of Twitter users about the #OurNASS protests naturally varied.Ny valinkafatr'ireo mpampiasa Twitter mikasika ny hetsiky ny #OurNASS dia mazava ho azy fa miovaova be.
23Kolawole Osafehinti (@kolaosafehinti), an engineering consultant, wondered:Kolawole Osafehinti (@kolaosafehinti), injeniera fakan-kevitra, dia nanontany tena hoe :
24How on earth can anybody justify 300 mil/annum in salaries for 360 pple at the expense of 120 mil pple in poverty?Ahoana eto ambonin'ity tany ity no hahafahana manamarina karama 300 tapitrisa/taona ho an'olona 360 ka hamelàna vahoaka 120 tapitrisa ho anaty fahantrana?
25How??Ahoana?
