Helb Delays
This incident comes a few days after Embakasi Mp (In a video seen by ghetto radio news desk ) lamented that students leaders are sleeping on their job even after constant delays on Helb disbursal.
According to the MP, the student leaders should have by now called for demonstrations over the delayed disbursement of Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) funds.
“I want to urge all student leaders in the country, do not sleep. Student leaders, you are sleeping. You are wasting the constituents who elected you. Instead of representing them, you are misrepresenting them. You must wake up, you must come out and call for demonstrations. Let HELB not delay even by one minute. The moment HELB delays there is a lot that goes on in the lives of students.
Babu said delaying the amount, which he said is still little does not make the lives of students easy, but more difficult.
The Embakasi East MP reiterated his disappointment at HELB for not releasing the money.
