Bizarre: Kenyan Architect Who Designed KICC Says He was Inspired by Donkey's Penis
Veteran Kenyan architect David Mutiso has shocked many Kenyans after explaining what inspired him when designing the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) about 50 years ago.
Speaking in an interview with Citizen TV, Mutiso said he was inspired by a donkey’s erect penis when drawing the iconic building in 1968.
He said he was given the contract to design the structure by then-Kanu Secretary General Tom Mboya, but that President Jomo Kenyatta kept revising the initial sketches to make it taller.
“They wanted to build a headquarter for Kanu. We started sketching, initially it was a simple four-storey building, it evolved with time. Every time we showed the President, he asked us to go higher and eventually we ended up with 17 floors,” he said.
The structure located in Nairobi central business district went ahead to become the country’s tallest building for several years.
Mutiso said Norwegian architect Karl Henrik Nøstvik worked with him in designing the building as a consultant architect.
“The initial tower was inspired by a donkey’s penis,” Mutiso explained.

@Formerly guest 2,timing is everything here.Mutiso knows that people are now more open and expressive as opposed to when he first got the go a head on the structural design.What confounds mw is,when did sexual organs come to be regarded as ",repulsive".why does shame surround these good body parts?May be we can learn something from those tribes in the Amazon jungle who walk naked unperturbe by any dangling they see even if it rivals mr.punda.

Well since Eve misled Adam or so the bible tells me so. No there is no timing I don't think otherwise this would never have made the news in the first place. Some people should go to Italy and see some of the sculptures, and these shows some of the real organs Il mio Amico...he hehe. We don't need to go that far to Amazon, some African tribes deep in the Congo still walk nude and the Kalahari...

Ihave heard unconfirmed rumour that mr.mutiso has build a clinic in nairobi south c called-ECFSS(enlargement center for short stumps).This is in response to numerous calls from enlargement cliniticians with interpreneurial minds.(Not that i need any enlargment at 8.5 inches)But a follow up call told me that cost depends on the centimeters appended.Stay turned for further information on who to contact.Looks like the donkey xxxx continues to inspire.Time to give this beast of burden some respect.
