A programme called 'Our World' on the BBC's 'News 24' television channel
recently reported on the argument between an examining judge in France and
the President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame. (The judge believes that President Kagame
should be indicted for war crimes arising out of the Rwandan civil
war and genocide). The reporter interviewed President Kagame, who appeared with
two flags behind him - the national flag and another which had a device
on a white field. Subsequent close-ups showed that the device is the Rwandan
Coat of Arms. In the context, it seems reasonable to
assume that this is a presidential standard.

The ratio of flag seems to be 1:2, based on images I found:

This seems to be a general flag of the governmental authorities. The same
flag can be seen here in a meeting of the minister for justice:
