It was also the main venue for the Third World Conference on Women. Today, it is also the headquarters of the ruling party in Kenya.

Construction of the Kenyatta International Convention Center began in 1967. It was put into use in the early 1970s. The entire building spans 32 floors, covering an area of 410,000 square feet (135,000 square meters). Inside, there is a spacious circular theater with exhibition space of 40,000 square meters, and below there are 180 underground parking spaces. In 1989, the then Kenyan government handed over the Kenyatta International Convention Center to the ruling party KANU, which has been headquartered there ever since.
