Grace Onyango,: The Butterfly that Touched the Clouds

Nyambura is growing up in an age when money is all you need to be elected as a Councilor, a Member of Parliament or to any other political office. A good example of how rich a politician should be is the MP to her constituency whose home is like a palace. He also owns many expensive cars and even a helicopter. She had also followed news of campaigns on the television during the just concluded election. She had seen Politicians drive in convoys of expensive cars while choppers competed for parking space during these meetings.When shown the home of Mama Grace Onyango, Nyambura is shocked and doubts whether she was a really a former Member of Parliament. She thinks that her father is joking when he tells her that this former MP rides a matatu like any other Kenyan. What she imagines is a funny scene of an MP, her body guards and assistants taking all the seats in a matatu.
