Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Some Rwandans have raised questions on social media platform X about whether it\u2019s allowed to purchase and display the national flag inside their homes. Here\u2019s a breakdown on what the law says:<\/p>\n1. No restrictions on displaying indoors<\/b><\/p>\n
Jean-Baptiste Kayiranga, the Legal Adviser at the Ministry of Local Government (MINALOC), confirmed that there are no specific regulations prohibiting individuals from owning or displaying the national flag inside their homes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe law allows everyone, whether a citizen or a foreign national, to display the flag indoors as a symbol of pride,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
2. Flags can\u2019t be raised outside<\/b><\/p>\n
While displaying the flag inside is permitted, raising it outside the house, such as on a flagpole in the yard or compound, is not allowed. \u201cThe flag is supposed to remain inside the home,\u201d Kayiranga clarified.<\/p>\n
3. No special permission required<\/b><\/p>\n
Anyone wishing to purchase the national flag can do so without needing prior approval. Flags are available from MINALOC at prices ranging from Rwf5,000 to Rwf30,000.<\/p>\n
4. Purchased online<\/b><\/p>\n
For added convenience, flags can be purchased through Irembo platform, which provides an easy way for people to get their own national flag, Kayiranga added.<\/p>\n
5. Display at any time<\/b><\/p>\n
The official also noted that there are no specific occasions or times to display the flag. \u201cPeople are free to show their national pride whenever they wish.\u201d<\/p>\n
