UoI Students in Dilemma
over HESLB LoansAccess
The Campus Eye Reporter
By Hereniko Mashiku,
Over 500 first year students at
the University of Iringa (UoI)
are in dilemma in receipt of
loan from the Higher Educa-
tion Students’ Loan Board
(HESLB) The Campus Eye has
observed.
The data from the admission
office revealed that by mid-
October some 631 first year
students were already admit-
ted at the university for the
2016/2017 year of study but,
among them only 101 students
had recently appeared to the
Loan Board list made available
last week.

The Campus Eye Editorial
University of Iringa Launches “The Campus Eye”
This first issue of Campus Eye newsletter puts to final rest the former Tumaini Week-
ly. It is a move to keep up with name changing from Tumaini University, Iringa
University College (IUCo) to University of Iringa (UoI). Campus Eye is a product
of UoI.
She has to keep a watchful eye on the welfare of UoI community; upholding the
rights and responsibilities of each UoI staff members and students in achieving
UoI values and vision. This task calls UoI community to respect the right of each
member to give and receive information as a pre-condition for good governance in
the academic environment.
This week the Campus Eye is concerned with the issue of study loans for students.
Many students will miss the loans as the Higher Education Students’ Loan Board
(HESLB) is reforming criteria and procedures for disbursing the loans to appropri-
ate students. The resulting disturbances to students, parents and universities reflect
past disorders in performance of the board.
The new national political administration has to learn from this past in order to
strategize for a better future. This isn’t a simple task and its repercussions will be felt
far by many!
For one, the number of students accessing University education may drop in future.
At the beginning this is not good news for parents and students. However, we be-
lieve it’s better to have few committed and serious students than huge numbers of
unfit (Kilaza) and academically poor students.
With a few committed students, universities will also have to restructure their per-
formance, hiring few but qualified academic staff and improving their welfare. This
is not a good news for both administrative and academic staff who will have to be
retrenched for the sake of efficiency!
A sure way out of the current disorganization over loan issues requires a true partici-
pation of all education stakeholders, particularly Tanzania Commission for Univer-
sities (TCU), HESLB, Universities and the National Council of Technical Education
(NACTE). It is not time for them to blame each other but rather to consolidate their
strengths and work in a team spirit. Hapa kazi tu!

year students said the Loan
Board has buried their hope,
as many students expected
loans for their studies. In the
absence of an alternative,
some students are already
considering to postpone
their studies.
A first year student, Joseph
Masige selected on the Bach-
elor of Education in Math-
ematics (BED) said he is
disappointed of lost loan as
a result he is planning to quit
his studies if the HESLB will
not consider him.
“I am confused my friend,
I am coming from the poor
income family that cannot
afford to pay fees, meals and
accommodation… now I
plan to postpone my stud-
ies if the loan board will not
grant me loan.” he said.

of Education (Arts) student,
Honorata Machimu com-
plained that she has not been
able to pay school fees that
will allow her to register. I
qualify to get loan but I won-
der why my name is missing
in the list.
My life is miserable at this
university… No fees and
no money for rent….I live
with my friend and I eat one
meal a day because I have no
enough money to afford the
standard meals and I think
of going back home if loans
will be delayed”, said Mr.
Masige
The newly appointed Execu-
tive Director of HESLB, Mr
Abdul- Razaq Badru told a
news conference in Dar es
Salaam last Sunday a total of
5,326 students will benefit.
According to him the gov-
ernment approved 483bn/-
budget support for HESLB
for academic year 2016/17.
The budget was for 119,012
students of which 93,295
are continuing students and
25,717 are new students.
Moreover, Campus Eye sur-
vey yesterday established
that delay of loan for con-
tinuing students lead to eco-
nomic hardship for most of
the beneficiaries, a situation
leading to some students
failing to pay house rent.
The University of Iringa Stu-
dents’ Organization (UoI-
SO) Minister for Loan, Mr
Tuboche Richard admitted
that many students complain
of difficulties due to delays
in loan disbursement.
He pointed a blaming finger
to HESLB, saying the major
reason is the long time be-
ing taken for the progressive
verification exercise. Accord-
ing to him, that it is not only
for the UoI students but all
students in the country.
“It is true that we have seri-
ous problems as a result of
the delays in verification of
loan beneficiaries” he said
adding that the situation is
made worse by universities’
delays in sending supple-
mentary examination results
required by National Coun-
cil for Technical Education
(NACTE) in order to ap-
prove admission and eventu-
ally access loans
“The HESLB new adminis-
tration has introduced new
means test criteria where the
loan rates are divided based
on form six results, econom-
ic status of the family and
educational background of
the students in terms of the
previous type of school they
studied in.” Tuboche said.
The UoI Public Relations
Officer, Crispin Nyomoye
denied the university admin-
istration has received loan
complains from students.
He said: “Officially we have
not received any complaints
from the students but let me
remind you that the univer-
sity does not give loans. The
loan issue is an agreement
between the students and
loan board. Ours is a coordi-
nating role only”.
Mr Nyomoye advices loan
beneficiaries that the delay-
ing of loan should not be a
reason for delaying to pay
university fees and to report
at the campus

Commission of Universities
(TCU) the University has
given only 728 students in
three selections.
The last years’ entrance re-
quirement for university was
3 points (at least 3 E princi-
ple ) for the form six students
but this year the government
changed to 4 (at least two
principles). Early in June
this year the government an-
nounced new eligibility for
the Diploma student that are
required to have 3.5 GPA be-
fore the TCU drop it to 3.0
in September this year.
Speaking to The Campus Eye,
Assistant Admission Of-
ficer, Mr Faida Kyando said
it is too early to conclude
...From pg. 1
that the number has been
decreased since there are
some students are still com-
ing. However, the reporter’s
analysis reveals that even if
all students will be able to
join the university as allo-
cated by TCU the different
will be 61 percent compared
to last year.
According to the TCU web-
site among the 728 students
allocated, more than 500 stu-
dents are studying Bachelor
of Education and approxi-
mately 300 students are stud-
ying other faculties including
Social Sciences, Law and
Business. According to Mr
Kyando, there are other 58
students allocated from the

cal Education (NACTE).
“That is not the end of ad-
mission exercise… we hope
to get more students since
there is another NACTE se-
lection for diploma and cer-
tificate students.” the admis-
sion officer added.
In their testimony to this
paper, some of first year
students showed their hap-
piness to be admitted to
the UoI. “I believe this is
the right place to fulfill my
dreams for I have desired to
be here since I was in sec-
ondary school” said Sweya
Peter, a first year Bachelor
of Business in Procure-
ment and Supply Chain
Management student.
Maria Jonhson a first year
Bachelor of Arts in Com-
munity and Development
(BACD) student noted
that she was so glad to be
one among the students
selected to join the Uni-
versity of Iringa. “It was
my first choice, I didn’t
come here accidentally it
was an intentional move”,
she noted.

Health Insurance
Fee Rises Queries
By Nuru Sanga
The Campus Eye Reporter
The government move to
introduce Tsh 60,000 for
National Health Insurance
Fund (NHIF) to improve
higher learning students’
health services has raised
many questions among
students over its credibil-
ity.
Related to the cost above,
the University of Iringa
also require students who
have already purchased
the health insurance to pay
Tsh 9,600 for administra-
tive costs that, among oth-
ers, are intended to cover
transport costs to health
facilities.
The University of Iringa
Student organisation UoI-
SO President, Amaniel
Kidali told The Campus
Eye yesterday that most
of the students have been
visiting his office com-
plaining that they do not
understand the credibility
of the fee because they
were not involved in the
decision making process
to introduce the fees.
According to him, most
of the students question-
ing this fee claim to have
been forced to pay Tsh
9,600 even if they have
their own health insur-
ance.
“Right now we are in
discussion with the gov-
ernment and UoI man-
agement to see if we can
reach an agreement to re-
move this burden especial-
ly for students who have
their own insurance”, said
UoI-SO President.
He is concerned that the
university will retain huge
amounts of money un-
used for intended health
service if all students do
not fall ill.
The University of Iringa
Public Relations Officer,
Crispin Nyomoye said the
management has made
such decisions because of
financial problems faced
by most of the college stu-
dents who may not have
health insurance when
they fall ill.
“Having an insurance is a
national wide matter not
only the University of Ir-
inga, and the government
has established such a
policy in colleges aiming
at reaching each individual
citizen” added Mr Nyo-
moye.
On their side, some stu-
dents have expressed joy
on such matter and greatly
thank NHIF for bringing
the service at the colleges
something that may save
many at the moment they
need medical services and
run out of money.
Aggrey E. Ndosi, a Diplo-
ma of Theology (DTH)
student told The Campus
Eye that “Health insur-
ance is so good and very
helpful since illness never
informs, and the good
thing about insurance is
that you pay nothing for
treatment”
Bachelor of Sciences in
Informational Technology
(BSC-IT) student, Robin
Jeremiah appreciates the
university and NHIF say-
ing the issue concerns in-
surance is a sensitive issue
and healthy advising other
students should not ignore
it.

No Excuse on Penalty
Fee the University Says
By Stephano Msuya
The Campus Eye Reporter
The University of Iringa
(UoI) management urges all
students to pay their tuition
fees on time to avoid Tsh
fifty tho50, 000 penalty in
coming days.
The University of Iringa
Spokesperson, Crispin Nyo-
moye gives caution that the
management has no plan to
remove the penalty adding
“there is no excuse” for stu-
dents who delay to pay on
time.
He added that that research
by management revealed
that there as some unfaith-
ful students use tuition fee
in their own business instead
of paying while other remain
with bank slips without sub-
mitting to the university bur-
sars on time a situation cause
congestion which disturb the
accountancies in the nearest
of final university examina-
tions.
He added that the manage-
ment has given favour for
student to pay fees in four
installations hence students
are required to submit their
bank slip on time.
Tumaini Chilemu a second
year studying Diploma of
Business in Procurement and
Supply Chain Management
is one of the victims of the
penalty. He complained that
management is not fair be-
cause most of students delay
for the economic hardship
facing their families.
“No one like embarrassment
of delaying to pay fee but it
happens because of our eco-
nomic backgrounds in our
families… they should abol-
ish it and try to create a new
way of collecting fee.” She
lamented.
The UoI-SO Deputy Minis-
ter for Finance, Ms Sarafina
Sai says the government is
working on students’ allega-
tions as they have already
wrote a letter to the univer-
sity management asking to
remove the penalty other-
wise to reduce it to thirty
thousands.

of collecting millions of
money from student activi-

Mr Simbeye said recognizing

trepreneurship.
We are in process of process
of preparing building capac-
ity programme tha will en-
able students to discover the
entrepreneurship opportuni-
ties around the campus and
outside the university sor-
roundings.
According to him lack of
capital has been a stumbling
block that hinder the student
government and other stu-
dents to engage in entrepre-
neurship
Goodluck Mwaiteleke is
a Bachelor of Education
(BEDA) student who is a
victim of lack of enough
capital to invest. He has an
idea to invest on campus but
the problem is capital to in-
vest. He added “I cannot
take a risk for the money I
have.’’
Others students have nega-
tive perception that fully
engagement in business can
affect the academic perfor-
mance, arguing that it is bet-
ter to wait until that finishes
their studies. “Although there
is no restriction for students
to engaging in businesses but
it is not easy to control two
things at a time.” LLB 1 Mi-
chael Kayombo said.”
While many students have
indicated that they are aware
of potential sources of fund-
ing, a major stumbling block
for students entrepreneurs
is the cost and requirements
needed to access funding.

“Most of the people in
our country have negative

because of little knowl-
edge…we want to ensure
young Tanzanian genera-
tion become knowledge-
able and ambassadors of
the mission.” Ms Njuwa.
More over the PRO said

Tanzania through TRA
has plan of widening its
grounds of collecting
revenue in order to boost

know this event will be a
step forward to building
our good relationship be-
tween the university and

Ms Kisamo.
On his side, the president

TRA to invest on sup-
porting other social issues
such as funding the sports

New Road to Evict Food
VendorsaroundCampusBy Ayubu Nyondo
The Campus Eye Reporter
Food vendors and smalls
scale traders doing business
around the UoI campus have
been ordered to relocate
their businesses elsewhere to
give room to the construc-
tion of a new main road de-
signed to pass in front of the
university.
The Tanzania Road Agency
(TANROADS) has ordered
for the relocation of the
businesses to give way to
easy demolition of structures
before construction of the
road expected to begin in the
near future. Campus Eye on
Thursday witnessed TAN-
ROADS agents verifying the
value of business structures
and houses earmarked for
compensation.
Talking to Campus Eye yes-
terday, food vendor, Victor
Suday, said the demolition
process is unfriendly to his
business and other traders
most of whom will lose their
businesses and even fail to
find new areas for the busi-
ness
“Life will be so tough after
this, I don’t understand how
we are going to survive since
finding new business loca-
tion will not be an easy thing
and even if you find the area,
you will still face marketing
challenges until people be-
come familiar with the loca-
tion,” Suday said.
Another trader around the
campus, Rafael Daudi said
“I am a father of two chil-
dren. It is this business
that that supports my fam-
ily. Leaving this location will
probably make my life tough
and a burden to start over
reshaping my business at an-
other area”
Students of University of
Iringa commenting on the
matter expressed mixed
opinions with some saying
the relocation of hew food
vendors will increase food
costs. Others said the move
will eliminate health risks
associated with unhygienic
food supplied by the ven-
dors.
“To me, this is a bad news
since I depend on these food
vendors along the campus
because they sell food at low
costs. Moving those away
means the amount of cost
for meal will rise”, Dimoso
Hamisi, a diploma student
said.

Pressure Mounts Over UoI pay TV Services
By Michael Barnabas
The Campus Eye Reporter
University of Iringa (UoI)
students are exerting pres-
sure on their government to
resume pay television view-
ing services in the Multipur-
pose Hall so that they can
access news and sports in-
formation.
The new government of
the UoI Student Organiza-
tion (UoISO) is responsible
for provision of sports and
recreation services including
Pay-tv viewing but the ser-
vice has not been resumed
since the government came
to power June this year.
The government’s Minister
for Information, Mr. Dami-
an Ndelwa, told Campus Eye
Wednesday the government
will resume the service when
it gets money to pay for the
Pay-tv services through Dig-
ital Satellite TV (DSTV).
Pressure has been mount-
ing from students who have
each paid an annual student
activity fee of Tsh 18,000 to
cover various activities in-
cluding Pay-tv viewing ser-
vices which has traditionally
been offered in Multipur-
pose Hall.
Adrian Kiverege, a student
at UoI, complained to Cam-
pus Eye: “I feel outdated be-
cause I miss important news
and entertainment informa-
tion”. Like Kiverege, Bahati
Warioba who is a diploma
student complains that in the
absence of the Pay-tv view-
ing service, many students
take risks seeking for costly
public Pay-tv services out-
side the campus.
The students complain that
