Speaking on Friday, February 28, during the launch of the Illasit–Rombo–Njukini–Taveta Road in Taita Taveta County, Ruto dismissed the new party, claiming it was focused entirely on him rather than offering solutions to Kenyans.
"I saw some people meet to form a party, but in the four hours they spent talking, all they discussed was William Ruto.
Is the party they are forming called William Ruto? So, your agenda, your plan, and your vision is William Ruto?" Ruto posed.
He further criticized the opposition leaders, branding them as people with no real agenda.
"I want to tell Kenyans that those talking about William Ruto have not been sent by me. They are conmen.
Let them find a real name for their party and come up with something meaningful, or else they will fail," he added.
The President also cautioned leaders against using tribalism as a political tool.
Without mentioning names, he said some politicians were trying to divide Kenyans along ethnic lines instead of focusing on real issues.
"Please, the price of tribalism has dropped significantly. Do not try to sell tribalism. Find a real agenda to present to the people.
Tell us what your alternative plan is. Or are you just planning demonstrations? Since when is protesting a job that someone can get paid for?" Ruto stated.
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua fired back at Ruto during the PLP launch, accusing him of misleading Kenyans during the 2022 elections.
"Ever since I was born, I have never seen a liar like Ruto. This guy looks you straight in the eye and lies without hesitation.
Many people from home have blamed me, saying I'm the one who brought him to them," Gachagua said.
He also alleged that there were plans within the government to have him arrested following his recent comments in Meru about a plot to remove Chief Justice Martha Koome.
"The other day, I said that they should leave Martha Koome alone or there would be consequences, and they wanted to arrest me," Gachagua claimed.
