Education Ministry tracks loan debts

"Recoveries are ongoing and plans are in place to fast track this. Outsourcing is expected to help speed this up and the tendering process is at the final stage," says Sandy Mosarwa, public relations officer in the ministry. The tendering process is for debt collection services which MoESD is outsourcing to private sector companies.

The companies will trace and collect loans from beneficiaries. A tender was put out last year and is now at a stage where the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Board is involved.
