The leader of South Africa's opposition Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, Julius Malema, has chastised President William Ruto for failing to keep commitments made to Kenyans in the run-up to the General Election.
Malema, who is now in Kenya to establish the Pan African Institute at Lukenya University, suggested President Ruto's election pledges and deeds as the current Head of State are as opposed to day and night.
"I don't know if President William Ruto means it because he said so many things, and I can't locate him these days, because the things he said during election and the things he's doing now are two different things," that's what he said in his speech.

"Because I heard him saying we need to do away with the dollar and build our own currency, but his actions are not speaking to anything of doing away with the dollar."
The South African opposition leader went on to criticize Ruto for hosting Britain's King Charles III at a State banquet and bestowing upon him certain high privileges befitting his rank as royalty.
However, Malema believes that King Charles III's visit was meaningless unless he could deliver a direct apology to the Kenyan people for the crimes committed by British soldiers during the colonial era.
“The latest (of Ruto’s ills) 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. The Kenyan army is a product of the Mau Mau rebellion, and those who killed our people in the Mau Mau rebellion cannot be saluted by the same army of the children of those who were killed during Mau Mau rebellion,” stated Malema.
“We have a duty to stay true to the course; we have a duty to remind the King and Britain of what they did to us; indeed, he shows no remorse – he says ‘this was bad, it shouldn’t have happened’, but he runs short of ‘I apologies, I am sorry.’ He will never say he is sorry, because he thinks that his race makes him superior and he is not qualified to apologise to those who are junior to him.”he added
