This is what the municipal website says, but the other website,
www.manfut.org,
says something slightly different: "Yellow stands for the
relationships between the [Roman] Catholic Church and the Town of
Boaco. Blue and white are the colours of the national flag of
Nicaragua. Green represents the aspiration to be an ecological
municipality."
The flag is made of two rectangle isosceles green triangles
forming a V filled with three horizontal stripes, yellow, blue
and white (2:1:2).

In this photo it doesn't seem that the
central stripe is narrower. The flag exists in both designs.
