Kenyans online were left in shock after architect revealed he was inspired by the shape of a donkey’s penis to design the most iconic building in the country – Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC).In an interview with Citizen TV, Kenya’s first African Chief Architect David Mutiso explained that founding president was thrilled by the final design of the 28-storey building after rejecting several designs presented to him.“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,” said David Mutiso.
