Medical students at Kenyatta University (KU) are now set to begin clinical placements at a major referral hospital. This follows the resolution of a six-year deadlock regarding training attachments, which was settled with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the university and health authorities.

The jeopardization of this exposure was caused by the cessation of key discussions between the school and the host hospital. The recently signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) formalizes the cooperation between Kenyatta University…

In a landmark decision, the Kenyan High Court ruled in favor of student loan borrowers, ruling that HELB cannot require repayment amounts greater than twice the initial principal. The judgment comes following concerns over ballooning debts due to prolonged accumulation of interest and penalties. A petition was filed by three former students, Anne Mugure, Davis Nguthu, and Wangui Wachira, alleging that HELB’s application of compound interest and monthly penalties had resulted in their debts ballooning substantially beyond the principal amounts initially borrowed. In one instance, a loan of KSh 82,980 had purportedly grown to exceed KSh 540,000. For another borrower,…
