Terrible News for Comrades! HELB Announces a Tough New Rule Starting December 2025!

Bad news has hit thousands of Kenyan comrades.

The Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) has officially announced a new enforcement move that will directly affect employed graduates in the private sector who defaulted on their student loans.

Starting December 2025, HELB has ordered private employers to begin mandatory salary deductions for employees who have not been repaying their HELB loans.

This means:
If you are employed and you defaulted on your HELB loan, repayment will now be automatically deducted from your salary — whether you like it or not.

The decision has sparked intense debate online, with many Kenyans raising concerns about:

Reduced take-home pay

Cost of living pressure

Employer involvement in personal loans

Whether the policy is fair to young professionals

HELB says the move is necessary due to the high number of loan defaulters and to protect funding for future students.

Kenyans are now asking:

How much will be deducted from salaries?

Who qualifies for deductions?

Can one appeal or renegotiate repayment?

Is this policy fair to struggling workers?

This story has quickly become a hot topic nationwide, especially among young professionals and graduates.
