Ethics of public office
Moral philosophy grounded in African constitutional traditions and the Chapter Six mandate.
Uongozi Fellowship, founded by whistleblower Nelson Amenya, equips a small cohort of Kenyans each year with the ethics, evidence, and courage to serve the public honestly.
Moral philosophy grounded in African constitutional traditions and the Chapter Six mandate.
Fellows learn to put the public interest first — resisting capture, managing conflicts of interest, and making decisions that serve citizens, not patrons.
The interior work of standing firm — mentored by whistleblowers, journalists, and public servants who have.
Ten fellows a year move through the program as one cohort: foundations in Nairobi, a two-week governance immersion in Singapore studying how a state built clean institutions, then a placement back home where the lessons are applied — at zero cost to fellows.
Six weeks of constitutional law, Chapter Six, public finance and comparative anti-corruption frameworks, taught with retired judges and scholars.
A two-week residency in Singapore: study visits to public agencies, anti-corruption and civil service institutions, and clinics on building systems that resist capture.
Fellows return to an embedded placement with a partner institution and deliver a reform capstone applying what Singapore taught to a Kenyan problem.
