You can now get the official presidential portrait of President William Ruto at various departments of information offices across the country.

In a statement by the office of the Government Spokesperson on Thursday, it was revealed that portraits will be sold at Ksh 300 only.

In Nairobi, the portrait is available at the Department of Information at Uchimi House along Aga Khan walk in the Central Business District (CBD).

In the other 46 counties, the government stated that the portraits could be acquired in various county and sub-county offices under the Ministry of Information Communication and Technology (ICT).

"Following the inauguration into office of H.E Hon. William Samoei Ruto as the President of the Republic of Kenya, we wish to inform our people that presidential portraits are now available. 

"Offices and individuals at the county and sub-county levels can get their copies from County/Sub-county Information Officers," read the statement in part.

The statement by the government comes days after it released the official portrait of Ruto following his inauguration at Kasarani stadium on September 13.

The portrait, unveiled on Tuesday during his inauguration at Kasarani stadium, has the Kenyan flag in the background – a design that mirrors a tradition adopted by American presidents since 1961.

In a break from tradition, President Ruto becomes the first head of state in Kenya to have the flag as part of his official portrait, whose quality is also the first three-dimensional (3D) model.
