Kenya’s Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), the country’s main financier of students in institutions of higher learning, plans to block couples from getting married until they get clearance from the loans board, local media outlet CapitalFM reports.
According to the reports, HELB’s CEO Charles Ringera says the Board is working together with the Attorney General’s office to compel defaulters to pay their loans before they can get married.
The plans will see beneficiaries of the HELB loans fail to get their marriage certificates before they obtain clearance from the Board.
‘I beseech those who are working to get in touch with our office in order to be aided to start the reimbursement process so that others can also benefit,’ Ringera is reported to have said.
