Nelson Amenya, the whistle blower who exposed the controversial Adani takeover of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), is living in fear.  

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) student at a French University has been receiving threats since he revealed details of a contract that could leave Kenyan taxpayers facing exorbitant compensation claims and tarnish the country’s international reputation due to “Adani Group’s controversial business practices.” 

“I was warned by international journalists in France and other places that Adani would use various means to intimidate me, and I have to be careful. I’ve been attacked, trolled, and threatened by  bloggers  from India for defending my country,” Amenya told The Standard yesterday adding, “It would be hard for me to come to Kenya.” 

Amenya, 30, a former manager at a multinational company in Kenya, left the country in pursuit of better opportunities.

Last week, he received a letter from Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) informing him that his company was under investigation. 

This came two months after he began exposing the Adani documents online, detailing terms that include sole control over JKIA, the power to amend Kenyan laws, and restrictions on competition, which would undermine Vision 2030 and limit the development of other Kenyan airports. 

“I send my lawyers and the police said they are investigating fraud that my company is involved in cryptocurrency, something we have never done,” Amenya said.

Courtesy of Amenya’s outpouring of confidential information about the deal between the government and Adani group, Kenyans now know that if the deal is disrupted due to protests or unfavourable parliamentary actions, Adani is entitled to compensation for lost returns and investment costs. These disruptions, classified as “Material Adverse Government Actions (AGA),” could also trigger the termination of the agreement, leading to hefty pay outs to Adani. By Benjamin Imende, The Standard
