According to the students, HELB has delayed disbursing the funds making it difficult for them to cope with life at the halls of residence.

“HELB is yet to credit students’ accounts so we want that money disbursed as soon as they can release it,” said Apiyo Apiyo, Organizing Secretary, Students Organization of Nairobi University (SONU)

 The student leader was addressing a local media house on Wednesday during a protest calling for end to the lecturers strike.

In the past, students from public universities have been forced to demonstrate in cases of delayed loan disbursements.
