Business student Nelson Amenya leaked details of what he said was a proposed agreement between Kenya and the Adani Group , an Indian multinational, in July .

The deal concerned the management of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport ( JKIA ) the country's - and region's - biggest airport, which is long overdue a complete overhaul.

Mr Amenya had good reason to think the papers were genuine as "the people who were giving me these documents were from very legitimate departments of government" He alleges that Kenyan laws appeared to have been systematically ignored.

Kenya 's President William Ruto announced the cancellation of both Adani deals last month .

The Adani Group denied the allegations from US prosecutors and called them "baseless " Mr Amenya was sued for defamation by an Adani representative and a Kenyan politician.

President Ruto still questions why Kenyans opposed this and many other projects.
