In a surprising turn, the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) has taken a bold step by revoking clearance certificates from 57 Kenyan beneficiaries. While the grounds for these revocations remain undisclosed, HELB follows a standard protocol of withdrawing certificates if they were acquired illicitly or in error.
HELB, in a recent statement, urged the affected individuals to contact the board for further details or explore the agency’s website. The statement reads, “This is to notify the public that the under-listed HELB clearance certificates have been revoked with immediate effect.” These certificates are typically granted to individuals who have either completed their loan repayments or received no loans from the board.
For those currently repaying their loans, the issuance of complimentary compliance certificates serves a dual purpose. Not only do they open doors to employment opportunities, but they also make recipients eligible for additional loans. Securing these certificates for loan clearance or compliance is a hassle-free process through the convenient eCitizen platform or the HELB portal.
In the case of Kenyan citizens who may have fallen behind on their loan repayments yet require a compliance certificate, a reasonable solution is at hand. They can obtain the certificate by making a one-time payment of Ksh4,500 or opt for a more budget-friendly three-month option at Ksh1,500.
Employed individuals are strongly advised to furnish their clearance certificates to their respective employers to avoid the inconvenience of continued loan deductions from their salaries. This proactive step can help avert any further financial burdens tied to loan repayments.
The recent wave of revoked HELB clearance certificates reminds all beneficiaries to stay vigilant and ensure that their loan obligations are met promptly. With the potential for employment opportunities and access to additional loans hanging in the balance, staying compliant with HELB’s requirements has never been more crucial.
