William Ruto will hoist a green presidential flag after his inauguration tomorrow.
Presidential standards are hoisted with the national flag when the President is present and removed after he leaves. Kenya Defense Force made it to the President-liking. elect's (KDF).
The flag's other emblems remain unknown. It contains two crossed spears and a flag-colored shield. These two signify unity and nationalism.
Let the fifth President expose his standard here for some surprise. I don't know if he'd want it described today," Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho said.
If Dr. Ruto follows the design process of prior presidential standards, his flag will contain his party's symbol, the wheelbarrow, which signifies "value, dignity, and respect of effort in desire of an egalitarian society"
Uhuru Kenyatta chose a blue Standard like his father, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. He added a dove-The National Alliance (TNAparty )'s symbol-instead of his father's yellow cockerel- KANU's.
Mwai Kibaki, Moi's successor, chose white with two olive branches.
