The Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) now says it will not send law enforcement officers to arrest loan defaulters as earlier suggested by its Chief Executive Officer, Geoffrey Monari.
In a statement on Saturday, May 31, the Loans Board also distanced itself from reports purporting that it was planning to use chiefs to hunt the defaulters and their guarantors.
According to HELB, repaying the loan is one's initiative, reiterating that it would not use escalatory measures, which include the arrest of defaulters, to recover its money. "HELB is not sending law enforcement officers after loan defaulters.
This is a call to your heart, not your fear," HELB dismissed the claims, terming them fake.
