No, President Ruto’s Presidential standard is not green

False

President William Ruto chose a yellow presidential standard, which was unveiled after his inauguration as Kenya’s fifth President on September 13, 2022.

It also contains a wheelbarrow sign, which is the symbol of his United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party. The UDA party’s primary color is yellow. The presidential symbol consists of two crossed spears and a shield with the national flag’s colors. These two represent unity and readiness to defend the country’s freedom.
