University students demonstrate against the HELB delay.
Due to the Higher Education Loans Board’s (HELB) delayed distribution of funding, university students in Rongai protested on Tuesday. They took to the streets, clogging Magadi Road to block the main entrance to Ongata Rongai Town in Kajiado County. During the protest, people sang, lit tires and bonfires, and chanted phrases like “the struggle continues” to demonstrate their frustration.
After altercations with the students in response to the protests, security personnel deployed tear gas to scatter the masses. Students from low-income backgrounds have faced substantial problems as a result of delays in grant disbursement, despite government commitments to release HELB money on schedule.
National officials have taken notice of this ongoing problem, including Babu Owino, the MP for Embakasi East, who has urged the government to swiftly allocate funding to help students who are experiencing financial difficulties. Owino emphasized that students are experiencing hunger, financial hardship, a lack of cash for food and lodging, and transportation issues as a result of the delays.

The member emphasized that the delay is severely impacting students and requested Treasury CS Professor Ndung’u to collaborate with HELB to hasten the distribution of cash.
The Higher Education Loans Board had earlier agreed to distribute the monies this week, according to Antony Manyara, the current president of the Kenya Universities Students Organization (KUSO), providing some optimism for the impacted students.
