HELB syndrome is here again

When loan financing body Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) made it clear that come 30th September every government student will have received their monies, many students were joyous. As it has been the norm, this money once it gets into their hands, its usage is crafted with immediacy. During this period, it is evident that majority of students will avoid classes until their pockets dry and can no more visit drinking joints.

This money automatically will upgrade many students who otherwise have been surviving on kales throughout the semester. Butcheries will now experience sudden increase in demand for meat. For instance, students at Kisii University who have been visiting Daraja Mbili market in Kisii town for second hand clothes, will now be visiting boutiques to have a taste of classy and expensive clothes.
