Job seekers will no longer need to pay Sh1,000 for the issuance of a compliance certificate. This is after the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) waived the fee, following a public outcry. Usually, most potential employers require the HELB compliance certificate, even if you did not get a loan from HELB. In some government institutions, lack of a compliance certificate could deny you a promotion. Apart from HELB, job seekers are also required to get compliance certificates from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).
