At the intersection of Uhuru Highway and Kenyatta Avenue, the iconic Nyayo House towers over the Nairobi CBD reminiscent of a dark era that many Kenyans would wish to forget.

At 27 floors and more than 80m high, Nyayo House was completed in 1983 and was one of the first skyscrapers in the city, alongside the now Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) and Hilton Hotel.
