Moi University students carried out demonstrations in Eldoret for the second day demanding the release of delayed loans from the Higher Education Loans Board. However, as they protested the Helb CEO Charles Ringera declared that they had no money to release to the students. The university has admitted that some of its students were starving due to a lack of money. Ayieko said the university was in contact with Helb to enable the quick release of the money to the students. Last December, Helb said it had reduced the average amount offered to students for loans from about Sh45,000 to Sh37,000.
