Aaron Cheruiyot Breaks Silence
The senator revealed that he is considering legal action against the whistleblower who linked him to the Adani Holdings Limited deal.
“I don’t do those kinds of things and therefore even as a country as we call for new levels of accountability, doesn’t it behoove us that we even behave better than those that we accuse of committing such ills,” he said.
“You cannot fight corruption by means of character assassination, and to that gentleman, my lawyers will be reaching out to him, and I have a name to protect,’’ the Senator declared.

The senator also criticized the media for its handling of the claims, asserting that they did not approach the allegations with professionalism and instead chose to broadcast them without due diligence.
“What happened to the editorial policy of our media houses? If you go to international media houses like the BBC, their policy states that they delay their broadcasting for certain durations to proof claims that may be unverifiable,’’ he stated.
New Revelations from JKIA-Adani Whistleblower
This comes after Nelson Amenya while speaking to KTN alleged that Aaron Cheruiyot negotiated the deal on behalf of the government. Amenya said no politician knew about the deal except Cheruiyot, who was the broker.
Amenya stated that he shared the deal documents with politicians, adding that not even Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka was aware of the Adani deal with the government of Kenya.

He claimed that Cheruiyot met with Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani in India and later brought him to Kenya.
“I am the one who shared the documents with politicians. Nobody, including Senator Onyonka, knew anything about this deal except Aaron Cheruiyot, who is the broker. He was the one who went to India, met with Adani, and brought Adani to Kenya,” Amenya said.
He added that he has no documents to support his statements, and the government would deny the claims because there is no evidence.
However, he challenged the senator to come forward and deny that he traveled to India or was involved in the JKIA-Adani deal.
“I am challenging Aaron Cheruiyot to come and say I’m lying, that he didn’t go to India, and that he doesn’t know the KNH chairman who takes him to the airport, picks him up, and works with this Indian syndicate. He should come out and say this is false,” Amenya asserted.
