The irony is that the loan forms are not distributed to applicants but are downloadable on the Loans Board website.

The payment comes at a time that needy students are being kicked out of the university for failing to access the loan which has been marred with various flaws.

Other reports have suggested that EE and A Investments which got the K17 million is a company that is owned by Chris Chisoni’s wife. Malawi24 is yet to independently verify that.
