Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party leader and South African opposition chief Julius Malema has criticized Kenyan President William Ruto for failing to deliver his promises.
Speaking on Thursday, November 9, in Kenya, Malema said he has not understood Ruto ever since he took over the country’s leadership in September 2022.
“I don’t know if President William Ruto means it because he said so many things and I can’t locate these days because the things he said during elections and the things he is doing now are two different things,” said Malema.
Additionally, the EFF boss accused President of not being honest with his fight against dollar and creation of one African currency.
“I heard him saying that we need to do away with the dollar and build our own currency, but his actions are speaking to anything of eradicating the US dollar,” he explained.

Further, Malema slammed President Ruto for welcoming British Monarch King Charles II and Queen Camilla to Kenya.
“His latest action being putting a red carpet for a murderer, a person who killed the Kenyan people coming into this country, receiving a red carpet and being saluted by our own army,” he said.
