President William Ruto’s portrait available to public at a fee
President William Ruto’s official presidential portrait is available to the public at a fee, this is according to government spokesperson Cyrus Oguna.
In a tweet on Thursday, Oguna gave directions on how one can get the official portrait, which will be sold at Sh.300.
“They can be collected from the Department of Information at 5th floor, Uchumi House, Agakhan Walk, Nairobi. Offices and individuals at the county and sub-county levels can get their copies from County/Sub-county Information Officers,” Oguna said.
The presidential portrait which is commonly placed in a frame made of glass and wood will be placed in government offices.
A number of individual business owners also opt to have them mounted inside their premises.
In the presidential photo, Ruto is dressed in a grey coat, white shirt, and a polka-dotted yellow tie – which symbolises his UDA Party colour.
Following his inauguration on Tuesday, the government released President Ruto’s official portrait that will be used during his term.
As is the tradition, portraits of former President Uhuru Kenyatta were replaced with those of Ruto in major government buildings such as the State House.
Consequently, various institutions and business enterprises followed suit in implementing the tradition that dates back to the 60s.
Ruto’s portrait has the Kenyan flag in the background a design that mirrors a tradition adopted by American presidents since 1961.
