Dar es Salaam. The Higher Education Students Loans Board (HESLB) has defended its new strategy, known as the #Fichua campaign, emphasizing that it is strictly within legal boundaries.
The new loan recovery drive has faced criticisms and concerns over data privacy, but HESLB insists that it is one of the ways to remind defaulters to come out and repay their loan.
