"content": "Most Kenyans are very poor. Instead of harassing and threatening their families, they should be forgiven and the loans written off. Banks are given extra loans to pay for a longer period. As the Senator of Mombasa said, we can give them a grace period of 10 years. I asked for a similar statement last year or earlier this year and we did not get a proper answer. I remember Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve said that when the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare asked the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) to appear before them, they were talking tough. It is the same issue every time. The Committee on Education or whoever is responsible for this matter should push to make sure that these loans are exempted and our Students are free for the last five years, so that we allow people like Sen. Cherargei to pay. Anything above five years should be exempted."
