Citizen Demand and Oversight Programme
This programme focuses on concerns around inadequate enforcement of constitutional and legal provisions on leadership, integrity, and anti-corruption; normalization of corruption at individual and societal levels; corrupt, unethical, and unaccountable leadership; and inefficient, ineffective, and non-responsive public service delivery and humanitarian aid systems. Other challenges include inefficient, ineffective, and inaccessible judicial systems and weak civic voice/claim-making towards rights.
Under the programme, the promotion of citizen participation in all governance processes will be a core strategy. Key areas of intervention include;

Advocacy and Legal Advisory Centres (ALACs): Through the Advocacy and Legal Advisory Centres (ALACs) established in Mombasa, Eldoret, Kisumu and Nairobi, TI-Kenya encourages corruption victims to come forward with corruption-related complaints. Cases filed in the ALACs provide concrete evidence to advocate for institutional and legal reforms. ALAC is a walk-in, call-in center or mail in center where a citizen can obtain free and confidential advice on corruption cases. ALAC works with communities to empower them to report corruption. ALAC also offers a unique opportunity for the fight against corruption in Kenya as it gives opportunity to gather data on graft incidents in various public and private institutions.
