A new bill in Kenya proposes that individuals with outstanding student loans must disclose their status to employers upon securing formal employment.

• The Tertiary Education, Placement and Funding Bill, 2026 mandates this disclosure.
• Employers will be required to deduct loan repayments from salaries and remit them to the proposed Tertiary Education Funding Authority.
• Monthly repayments would be capped at 25 percent of a loanee’s emoluments.
