Nelson Amenya, the Kenyan who allegedly exposed the Adani deal now claims that his life is is danger.

Speaking to KTN News Amenya disclosed that he has received several threats on his life.

He went on to explain how he stumbled on the Adani proposal – raising an Alarm through a Kenyan senator who made everything public.

“I didn't know anything g about this deal. I just happened to get hold of the documents, read them for myself, and after I read the documents is when I realized that this thing is a big scam,” Amenya said.

“Adani has already done a proposal and it was not the proposal itself but a summary of it and a few people had signed on it. Basically approving the proposal,".

Amenya disclosed that he is worried about his safety after exposing the Adani deal.

"I don’t know about my security at the moment and I don’t think I’m really safe. I have received several a lot of threats since the day I exposed this deal,” Amenya added.

His statement comes at a time,  Hundreds of passengers have been stranded at Kenya’s main airport after workers went on strike over a planned takeover by the Indian company.

The High Court has since issued a stay prohibiting any person from implementing or acting on the privately initiated Adani proposal over JKIA pending the conclusion of the case.

The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) moved to court to block the controversial takeover of JKIA by India’s Adani Enterprises.

Adani Enterprises Limited submitted a proposal on March 1, 2024, to take over the running and management of JKIA.

In June, the government approved the relevant aviation policies, giving Adani a head start on the planned expansion of JKIA.

The privatisation deal, which would grant Adani control of the airport for 30 years, ignited widespread public outrage over its secrecy and potential consequences.

Adani has pledged a Sh238 billion investment to "upgrade and expand" the airport.
