The Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) announced on Friday, May 30, plans to engage police officers in tracking loan defaulters and other beneficiaries.
HELB CEO Geoffrey Monari, while appearing before the National Assembly's Public Investments Committee on Governance and Education, outlined a strategy aimed at strengthening the Board's finances through enhanced loan recovery efforts.
Monari also mentioned that the board is finalising a partnership with law enforcement agencies to trace graduates, both locally and abroad, who are employed but have failed to start repaying their loans. "This is not just about finance.
It's about fostering a sense of responsibility and patriotism among those who have benefited from the funds.
