The move to abolish HELB fund

It is to the best knowledge that the scrapping of the Higher Education Loans Board fund has been hinted, and as the Swahili people say, where there is smoke , there is fire; and also what is being said is there and if not it is coming. President William Ruto is yearning to phase out this ever existing fund since the colonial era. The Higher Education Loans Board dates back early 1950s  when the then colonial Government awarded loans under the then Higher Education Loans Funds (HELF) to Kenyans pursuing higher education in the recognized institution. The board's main function is to disburse loans, bursaries and scholarships to Kenyan students pursuing higher education in the recognized institution as well they recover loaned ouut funds and they establish revolving fund.

The role of the Legislatures to the people they represent

Chapter 8 of the Kenyan 2010 Constitution article 94 clearly defines the role of the Parliament. The chapter only speaks of Legislature. On the article 95 the roles are defined for National Assembly. When Kenyans voted the Members of Parliament in to the house, the major role and task was representation and the constituents were to ensure proper representation by voting in accountable leaders, leaders with integrity and competency. When these individuals assumed the office they forgot the main reason for them to be in that room instead they just showed an early sign of _tumbocrat_ person. When the Cabinet Secretaries were nominated,it is the MPs who vetted and approved them, indeed they did their constitutional role. The Government through the Presidency have given a greenlight to Genetically Modified Organisms, with an excuse to curb the fangs of hunger. Farmers are harvesting their maize and the Government through the Trade ministry have gazetted importation of bags of maize which ha...
 By Glen Don  Kenyans are activists yes but let's do it with limit and in style When GMO case is before Kenyans that is the matter of discussion. When the Maize is gaining entry into the country, that turns to be the topic of discussion. When Kenyans are fighting they fight with zeal and power. They, Kenyans spend almost all their strength in fighting the demons at the door but forgetting about the open windows and ventilators of the house. This a good strong message indeed, at least it shows a nation with vigor. Now the GMO foods and maize  are the trendies. Maize is being imported from Mozambique, not even in hundreds but in millions of bags.  Genetically Modified Organisms are being given a greenlight by the government. As all these are taking place, we as Kenyans should not forget that we are not only consuming maize, yet GMO is still a topic of discussion. We have rice, eggs and many other foodstuffs that we depend on besides the GMO. Right now other foodstuffs ...

Kenyans are dying of hunger due to prolonged famine. Rugby club the _Shujaz_ are yet to be paid. And they are lack funds to take them to upcoming South African  tourney.   The Shujaz men are out of money and they lack funds to help drive their activities. In response to this Caroll Radull came in to rescue of these guys by launching a paybill number 891300 and account number 60365. This is to raise funds to support the helpless rugby players. The players who once made Kenya proud by claiming victory and they put Kenya on global maps. It is a horrible and shameful  to see the Shujaz at the helm of begging.  The sports now turning to be business and the government is quiet over the issue and doing nothing to revive hopes of these individuals. Paybill number is still in the market. Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua  on behalf of the Government have also launched a paybill to help raise funds for the affected hunger -striken citizens.  The Government is be...
