- Whistleblower fears for life after exposing Adani’s Kenyan airport deal
Nelson Amenya, the whistleblower who spilled the beans on confidential talks about a possible takeover of Kenya’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport by Adani Group, is now worried about his safety.
Back in July, Amenya went public with documents revealing that the Adani Group was in talks for a 30-year lease of Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta airport.

“Whistleblower fears for life after exposing Adani’s Kenyan airport deal”
And that was unexpected?
It wouldn’t have been possible to hide for very long the corrupt Modi-fanboy-and-fellow-Gujaratis’ involvement in trying to lock in this deal in Kenya. But an airport deal like this there was likely to be questionable regardless of foreign investor play.
The problem in NYC was the paying player : foreign state consulate and state-owned airline .
NYC was so moronic , it wanted “chump change” airline and hotel upgrades , in a third-class smelly Istanbul .
@GU … the Kenyan politicians are similar to NYC in that regard .
Dining delayed is dining denied.
No justice, no peas.
Regrading the California bill, it’s just a small joy from the Citizens United decision, where everybody’s dollars are equal. Oh, wait…and we are still talking about corruption in other countries?

And yet Newsom lectures the rest of us about values and morals. Politicians suck.
