The Good Book says: “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.” Anything short of that is self-deception.

One truth that Rigathi Gachagua, aka Riggy G, aka the Truthful Man, must now confront is this: That as things stand, his name is unlikely to appear on the presidential ballot next year. More importantly, he owes it to his supporters in the Mountain, and to the country at large, to confront this reality honestly and help them do the same.
