Hilarious comments by KOT on the KICC design

 

 

Kenyans on twitter have reacted to the revelation of what inspired the design of the KICC storey building. Sources available online indicate that The Kenyatta International Conference Centre ” KICC” was constructed in the late 1960s and opened its door to the most prestigious global conference of the time to ever come to the African soil, the IMF/World bank conference in September 1973.

Designed by the Norwegian architect Karl Henrik Nøstvik and our own David Mutiso the construction was done in three phases. Phase I was the construction of the podium, Phase II consisted of the main tower and Phase III involved the Plenary. Construction was completed in 1973; with the opening ceremony occurring in September 1973 presided over by Kenya’s founding father President Kenyatta. This is the only building that says you know Kenya. It is the Iconic symbol of Kenya and many take photos within that region whenever the visit the city.

 

On a recent video that featured David Mutiso,he stated that the building was inspired by a donkey’s penis and Kenyans could not hold back their reactions.

The building, formerly known as the Kenyatta International Conference Centre,  was commissioned by President Jomo Kenyatta in 1967 and was built at a cost of 4 Million Pounds (Ksh. 80 million in today’s currency).
