The whistleblower of the controversial Adani Group secret deal for the takeover of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) has named Dr. Samier Muravvej, Board Chairman, Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), as one of the key players who’s silently facilitating the hostile takeover of the airport, an issue that has dominated national conversation since the protests.
Nelson Amenya, the whistleblower, places Dr. Samier at a key role in what he describes as an ‘Indian Syndicate’ working with the Adani Group to takeover the operations of the airport.
Dr. Samier is not new to controversies, as portrayed by his tenure at the national healthcare facility. Recently, he was linked to a multimillion-dollar oxygen tender row that saw the key infrastructure stalled amid war with corrupt CEO Dr. Evans Kamuri, who’s under EACC investigation for looting the hospital millions.
During an appearance in parliament, it emerged Dr. Samier had conflict of interest in the oxygen plant tender as he had his own preferred suppliers.
Insiders also accuse him of flaunting procurement procedures and more than often brings in his own suppliers and has placed himself as a cartel boss rather than a chairman of the facility.
Aaron Cheruiyot
Back to the JKIA saga, Kericho Senator has also been named as the man who brokered the controversial deal and the link to Dr. Samier. During a live interview with KTN on Wednesday, Amenya revealed the unholy relationship between the two and untold details about the behind-the-scenes of the Adani deal.
“I am the one who shared the documents with politicians. Nobody, including Senator Onyonka, knows anything about this deal except Aaron Cheruiyot, who is the broker in this deal, and he was the one who went to India, met with Adani, and brought Adani to Kenya.” Amenya said.
“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 takes him to the airport, picks him, and all this Indian syndicate that he is working with. He should come out and say that this is false.” He went further.
