Nairobi N elson Amenya caused an uproar by exposing talks for an Indian firm to take over Kenya's main airport.
He has no regrets, but fears his life is now in danger, he says.
The documents Amenya shared online in July, revealed that the Adani Group, owned by India's richest man, Gautam Adani, had been in talks to lease Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for 30 years.
It is one of Africa's busiest hubs, but often suffers power outages and leaking roofs and badly needs to be refurbished.
Adani offered a $1.85 billion (nearly R32 billion) investment, but critics say that is a pittance considering the strategic value of the airport, whose fees account for 5% of Kenya's GDP.
The talks were held in secrecy with no effort to invite other bids.
"They didn't want it public because of the terms," said Amenya.
