The university administration has urged students to remain calm and wait as it resolves the HELB issue. Speaking at the administration buildings, The DVC in charge of student affairs said the university was working round the clock to ensure the funds were disbursed in time.
“We have been talking with the HELB Office about the release of funds. Two senior officers have been sent to Nairobi to continue negotiations with the loans body” said Prof. Ogechi.
He was responding to a group of over fifty students who had marched peacefully to the administration building today afternoon seeking audience with the institution’s top management.
The students had raised concern over what they described as reluctance by the authorities to ensure the HELB funds were disbursed.
“Third year students are suffering in campus. Two months after reporting back to school, they have not yet received the loan. The administration is the main link between the loans body and the students but has been doing little to see the funds are out” said one of the vocal students in the group.
The DVC promised to release a memo on Monday to inform the students of the decision reached at the HELB offices and the way forward.
In the past, HELB has expressed concerns over the unpredictable academic calendar in Moi University that has made it difficult for it to disburse funds on time. The loans body works on a fixed program that is drawn at the beginning of every financial year.
