By Antony Gitonga
NAIVASHA, KENYA: The man said to have conned police officer across Rift Valley that he was an assistant police commissioner of police was once a matatu conductor in Naivasha.
This came as the suspect Joshua Karanjahi Waiganjo who also
posed as the Deputy PPO Rift Valley province was charged in a Naivasha court with four different counts.
And as the composed suspect was taken to court, fearful members of the public turned out to disclose how he fleeced them and sacked police officers at will.
Some of those interviewed in camera said that the middle-aged man came to Naivasha in 1997 from Timboroa where he was employed as a matatu conductor.
"He claimed to have been displaced by the election violence and he worked along the Nairobi-Naivasha road for some years," said the witness.
Later he headed to Eldoret where he worked as a bodyguard for an influential transporter in the town before he was fired.
The witness said that they later came to learn that he had joined the police force and would be seen with senior police officers.
A Naivasha trader who also declined to be named said that he had met the accused several times as the Rift Valley Provincial headquarters where he ‘assisted' many.
He said that the man would drive in police vehicles and sometimes would arrive in high powered meetings with senior police officers.
"All along we have known that he was a senior police officer and we are still trying to understand how he operated for over five years without been detected," he said.
An officer from anti-stock theft unit told how the suspect sacked one junior officer and ended up taking over his wife.

zep, mwiks 5 January 2013 10:42 PM na tunaambiwa tusiongope ati wakenya tumelidwa!!!! Usalama iko!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: My JESUS: iko wapi????
Rutto B. 4 January 2013 4:24 PM Mzae apewe hiyo job na mshahara mara3!!!!!! where is the right officer in that office? what about the senior? Uzalendo mara dat dat, i cant see my country security falling yet am capable of maintaining law and order even to the extend of giving orders to those employed to. Big up men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Georges Osmall 4 January 2013 3:59 PM This is quiet dangerous to a common citizen who leans on the security provided by the government and even a big shame to the government herself therefore thorough investigations should be carried out to put everything on the line of security matters in place and that those found involved in the recruitment and protection of such bad acts should be subjected to the law without any sympathy. The level of courage seen reflects there was good protection may be from;for instant some powerful persons big office in the government,therefore if taken lightly it means that even the security of the state would be compromised hence insecurity threat would still continue to increase thus the ordinary person will have to suffer most.This would be the one of the most big challenges to the newly selected inspector general but we urge him to clean up the police force as first as he can to allow the police do there work freely for the common citizen to enjoy every good part of the security for example its quete dangerous for such a person dismissing a serving officer and to the government no action.
John Arudo 4 January 2013 3:17 PM This is the Kenya we know. How many politicians were supposed to have been fired from politics but still are being admired by a large number of followers because the politicians give free goodies some of which come from illegal dealings? Every time somebody is robbed on the highway the victims complain of robbers in police uniform and nothing is done. Now this crook has behave for over five years as Assistant PPO and benefited after taking over a fired junior's wife - the height of impunity.
mercy 4 January 2013 2:54 PM a biig big salute for one waiganjo.......u r such a daring genius...this guy shud be comfirmed and his accomplices sacked
Wahome 4 January 2013 2:35 PM . . . . nchi yetu ya Kenya, tunayoipenda, tuwe tayari kuilinda. . . . . .HOW? This is line is clearly demonstrated by our man here. I would also like to know his performance in his line of duty. May be he has his +ve side.
Msupa 4 January 2013 2:24 PM OMG! this one need to be prisoned for life ako na ukweli most sana anajau kuhusu serikali
kalameni polo 4 January 2013 1:21 PM Wako wengine wengi. In most government offices there are imposters , ghost workers, fake certificates, irregular promotions,etc.SOME ARE ON ENDLESS STUDY LEAVES, OTHERS ON ENDLESS MATERNITY LEAVES mambo ikuchunguzwa vizuri watu watashagaa.
Jerry 4 January 2013 12:20 PM When the going get tough, the tough get going. I have given him half salute for having done it for those years without being noticed. He is smart but nature is smarter than him.
Jaja 4 January 2013 11:54 AM wuuuui. this is the best story I've heard since the beginning of the year. Atleast its not about accidents. Kudos karau...u need to go to Hollywood, U've got Talent.
George Thiongo 4 January 2013 11:22 AM This guys is somehow smart.He should be confirmed as the PPO.He has five years experience.
H. Benjamin 4 January 2013 10:38 AM Kimaiyo, here you go, KAZI KWAKO.
noella 4 January 2013 9:47 AM only in the movies can this happen. is there no record to show who sacked who on what grounds? if any did this reach the ppo that a certain cop has been sacked , if he saw this did he realize that he has no such deputy? does it mean that senior officers doesnt know each other, how did he manage to board the chopper without anybody realizing? there are so many question to ask.
Vincent Kalooh 4 January 2013 8:38 AM Where was the DPPO of Rift Valley for this 5 years?
Jarhmu kip 4 January 2013 7:30 AM ths is kenya!gat to knw ths
Jean 4 January 2013 4:38 AM Need we say anymore? That a matatu conductor or anyone else, for that matter, CAN actually impersonate a senior member of the police force for EVER SO LONG leaves many tongues wagging! What about issues to do with TERROR? The worst scenario is that this man, had he been a terrorist getting plush treatment, could have ripped the belly of the Kenya Police HQs apart! Or even that silly chopper in which he rode! How safe are we really? Which police officer is not rogue? How can we ever tell? The big question is: Who ELSE is in there? This whole preposterous saga JUST serves to show the inefficiency of our so-called police force!
JoHn Okumu 4 January 2013 4:34 AM This is what happens when people don't love their country and their jobs.How do police uniforms end up in criminal hands?Kenya will always be your home country,treat it right and respect it and it will do the same to you.
JoHn Okumu 4 January 2013 4:31 AM I think someone needs to do a through security sweep in the government apparatus to make sure only bona fide personnel work there.But who will do it?So this might explain the various leaking of security information eg Suguta Valley massacre.This guy should be encouraged to talk to assess the risk.
JoHn Okumu 4 January 2013 4:26 AM Well the nyotas on his shoulders are those of an SPP of police which are usually ocpd's
jeffK 4 January 2013 1:23 AM I still believe there are many others masquarinding as police officers.Kimaiyo.,smoke out these hooligans
Robert Waguchu 4 January 2013 1:06 AM Hahaha...this s only possible in a movie. Someone senior is in for it.
Robert Waguchu 4 January 2013 1:04 AM Hahaha...this s only possible in a movie. Someone senior is in for it.
Kennosh 4 January 2013 12:53 AM Big up hustler...anyway, just to ask where was he getting his sallo...and the people he headed no not their leader...our Kenya...!???
maiko 3 January 2013 11:45 PM hehehehehehehehehehehehe LOL NCHI YETU YA AJABU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alvionjo 3 January 2013 10:47 PM Mini nimekuheshimu....but tell us whom you were working for...i.e spying for top politicians.
Jarayola 3 January 2013 10:45 PM This is unbelievable,a force with detectives to detect,investigators that can really do their job, i think this a MOCKERY of the highest class by the police.The issue of imposture should not arise at all if the public is to spice their faith in the force.If Waiganjo has a case to answer which i believe so,then officers mostly in the senior category in Rift Valley province police headquarters office also must have a case to answer. followed by an independent investigation to establish how this man was executing his duties right from the provincial level to national.
Francis Kiranga 3 January 2013 10:16 PM I have a special assignment for Antony Gitonga , the journalist who filed this report. Please find out how he was finally smoked out of his hidding. This is very important as it would shine some light on how the rest can be weeded out.
lenni 3 January 2013 10:08 PM So how many of such cases remain undetected in the police service of this country? And yet the I.G. keeps on saying no heads will roll! Please Mr. I. G., clean up the rot in the police service and this must include sending people home either on retirement in public interest or sackings! Remember we are 40 million Kenyans, a population capable of producing 20million credible and competent police recruitment candidates.
jeniffer 3 January 2013 9:53 PM this man need to be sent to supreme court for a capital; offense.what intelligence has he gathered so far from the police ,whose interest was he working on.Kenyans need an answer
kaganya 3 January 2013 9:36 PM this guy watched the movie by martin lawrence BLUE STREAK acted in 1999 and he come out with a good idea. those who are saying he should make a movie there is already one by martin lawrence.
Mwalimu K 3 January 2013 9:34 PM I have "gone to countries" of this world, but I have not seen a country that is soooo rich in "creativity" like KENYA; hakuna!!! 1= 2006 The Artur brothers=Deputy Police commissioners. 2= 2012 Waiganjo PPO. And this guy was there in 2007/2008 PEV ??. Mama-yake-na-mie !!! Heeelp; Bensouda, here is a "golden witness".
odalos 3 January 2013 9:15 PM oh oh oh guys, how many pple do you think are of the same types of fake cops and have not been discovered? how can a street robber sack a police officer and the ppo, and commissioner endorse such sacking. this is a cartel of what is happening within police force. the goverment should give a great support for the incoming IG to rid out of this garbage left by the incompoetent senior police officers. no wonder the high rate of crimes in the country 2day. this is a real shock especially to the members of public.
Heowho 3 January 2013 9:13 PM will the junior officer he 'fired' remain fired now that we know he is an impersonator?
Danvas Ogeto 3 January 2013 9:12 PM Unlike the government inspector by Nikolai Gogol which was political in nature, the one in Kenya ironically penetrated high security organs. Yes, it should be clear that such a person could not be acting alone. There must have been collaborators in the police force. Someone must answer the question of how this could happen for five years. More so, how could this conman fire law enforcement officers? Can someone in the police force explain what protocol is followed when firing police officers? Was this guy in the police payroll? if really he was able to hike a ride in a police helicopter, how was he cleared? How was he able to pay for his accommodation whenever he travelled as a "police officer"? What did those he interacted with know about this man?This is ridiculous. Kenyans need to be told more. No wonder the security situation in Kenya has become so bad. How can a manamba outwit the police intelligence organs? The Kenyan police force should be a professional force not to be embedded with quacks.The police force needs a roll call.
hon tumz 3 January 2013 9:00 PM I simply love my country, we are on our way to producing some of the best movies first came kimani maruge's block buster the first grader and now we have waiganjo's ''the imposter''. from me its hats off for him, talk about a mixture of raw patriotism mixed with unimaginable courage and an amazing will to survive.
Fredrick 3 January 2013 8:56 PM Intelligence unit need to overlook deeper in the Kenyans forces & around the public coz they are more out here pretending to be police/ CID e.t.c.
Joseph Okinyi 3 January 2013 8:34 PM I cant believe this happening in an organisation that we rely on for our very security.
Jameni 3 January 2013 8:21 PM This is just one of many madimoni/dark forces in the police force that has been at last exposed. Of course almost everyone in the police is busy taking bribes/eating that nobody dares raise an alarm/question. And i sometimes read property adverts where they say its safe coz it is near a police station. Not in kenya!! U r then just buying in the midst of thugs. Now i understand the many police graduations in the last 10 years. RISWA!! Madimoni yashindwe! God help Kenya.
bobcat 3 January 2013 8:09 PM I agree completely with someone this is the classic government Inspector. Absolutely classic.
Edwin some 3 January 2013 8:06 PM This is a genius and couragious man!I salute him.
JoHn Okumu 3 January 2013 7:31 PM No wonder they can't even catch terrorists.How many more of his kind are there in the security forces?I am sure nobody had even bothered to check as yet.This is a very serious security lapse.Why can't someone find out from him how he was able to accomplish this feat.It really takes alot of gall to pull off something like this.Did he have an office and a paycheck?The whole thing is silly.So how many people are occupying positions by false pretense?The folks at NSIS have no clue as usual.Someone needs to buy them a clue
Thomas Agusa 3 January 2013 7:23 PM Do you see how we are told about the man's 'legally obtained police uniform', and yet nobody dares tell us about his 'legally obtained police arms'? Or is someone trying to 'con' us into believing that a 'senior fake police officer' has no 'legal gun' assigned to him? Kweli, so many people in Kenya are fake!
Ngwalya Matino 3 January 2013 7:16 PM To me and to every wise kenyan this is not a surprise...how soon things evaporate to many pple in the world and kenyans as well...IS THERE ANY ONE IN KENYA WITH GOOD MEMORY REMEMBERING MAMLUKI? just the same system but done in a different system "MEN IN BLACK 4" happy new year to all kenyans everywhere in the globe and God bless our beloved country.
Francis Kiranga 3 January 2013 7:03 PM When the former Police Commissioner,Iteere was asked to resign, following the botched fatal police operation in Baragoi, he touted that it is their immediate Commanders who should. Did he realise that one of the Commanders was Joshua Karanjahi Waiganjo (The Impersonator-- Assuming that is his real name) who in his position could provide the necessary logistics to the rustlers and send recruits as fodder.There was hardly any branch of Police which was working properly during his tenure raising the question as to how many imposters were in the Kenya Police Force. It had to take the American Embassy to raise the issue of the Drug Trade in Kenya, which was vehemently denied by the Police. President Kabila had to come to Kenya to complain about the Illicit Gold Trade in which Kenya featured prominently and even went farther name some of the culprits and until today nothing has been unearthed. Mr. Chemorei,the Adjutant at the GSU was ambushed by over 20 Poilce officers from Eldoret station who executed him..Could they have been acting on orders from this same Imposter.We need answers.
Peter 3 January 2013 6:58 PM Could this person have entered the Force during the post election violence when it is was alledged civilians were given uniforms to masqarade as police officers. I smell something awrily fishy here. Please Kenyan Press persue this matter to conclusion we want to know the truth. The only way this guy can get this far is if he got permission and uniforms and introduction in the force by someone senior but the guy either refused to disengage or slipped away during disarmament.
Jared 3 January 2013 6:54 PM This reminds me of the Artur brothers' saga. Am almost certain there are many more. No wonder some criminals are so daring!
joe grego 3 January 2013 6:50 PM this man is genius....how did he manage all those five years,something is wrong in our goverment,how comes???????
mashaa 3 January 2013 6:49 PM fire all senior officers in the in the Rift Valley.
Liz Mungwana 3 January 2013 6:43 PM This happens when so many people are out of work while those on power today are thinking how they are going to share the cake after the next election. Cord or Jubilee won`t bring the change that we need. Peter Kenneth z the man. In any case this man is a genius. Now I don`t know what`s real in Kenya. Am now afraid of going to a doctor. Think if it`s a fake doctor,fake teacher, fake pilote God help us all
lou cypher 3 January 2013 6:37 PM I refuse to comment after reading this story... I am not even sure Iam me or I might have been taken over and Ina I am fake... Until hell turnth over...
JOgendi 3 January 2013 6:21 PM This man has not been acting alone therefore he cannot be an imposter.Somebody senior at the police headquarters "employed" this guy and made sure that his name is in the records and gave him a number and did everything for him just like a police recruit.He even received promotions from police headquarters the normal way and posted to Rift valley as assistant PPO. The only difference is that this man has not attended any police training.
jdugna1960 3 January 2013 6:21 PM For a Waiganjo, everything is possible and only in Kenya
Kisiangani 3 January 2013 6:20 PM Very interesting just like the Russian Government inspector Kenya Police Service. Some one should resign and Mbijjiwe should be the first one to go not his officers. Just a few days gone when he could not manage traffic offenses in broad daylight and now 5 years day and night.
moses musamali 3 January 2013 6:05 PM this man needs some respect.talk of courageous people he is real.where has been the government when this man was imposing himself as a senior police officer?kenya hii tuko na detectives kweli?.no wonder there is a time a man sneaked into state house and went straight and slept on the bed.
Pa Mry 3 January 2013 5:55 PM This is the true Kenya!! we are seeing, top leaders using all posible avenues to protect their interest and you are dumped after having been maximumly used. Waiganjo was a puppet used for a particular interest possible by a very powerfuly dude. Sawa anakuwa tissue na kutupwa barabarani. A sensible man will not digest it that this guy managed to live with that title without manipulation of a certain figure!!! Lets hope Kimaiyo ameanza kufanya kazi yake.
Kentuckian 3 January 2013 5:48 PM Yeah, right! Nice try by the police force. It was impossible for this guy to function as he did for five years without being detected. Someone in the high office knew and used this man for his/her own gain. I am sorry but this is a mockery of and insult to our justice system in Kenya. I hope the guy spills the beans...but again doing so perhaps will not make any difference. As one of my American friends used to say, "TIK," this - is- Kenya.
tamasha 3 January 2013 5:39 PM i know this guy ,he conned . me and my husband ,he has conned people for more than 5 years ,im happy he was arrested.
Mtusafi 3 January 2013 5:34 PM This makes uncomfortable reading and its only possible in our beloved Alice wonderland of Kenya. Weh...
eggo 3 January 2013 5:34 PM This fellow can be very useful in implementing better controls in the police force now that he knows all the loop holes. When he goes into a meeting where his superioir is present. How does he introduce himself. This requires a movie to be done on it. Where is denzel washington
BojiBoji 3 January 2013 5:30 PM Hahahahaha....this man is genius. Kenyan police, you win hands down in the idiocy class. Escorting terrorists all the way to Garrisa only to lose them, terrorists rent motel rooms next to police stations to feel safe, you declare a real bomb blast a mere electrical explosion... the list goes on.
isaac hayes 3 January 2013 5:26 PM hahahahaa ever read The Government Inspector ? This was a live performance on stage ...very entertaining..the guy was just incognito he should just be hired to act a movie ..very creative character all the conned were the bobchinsky and the dobchinsky just like in The play G. I (Government Inspector by Shakespeare)
MULELE 3 January 2013 5:24 PM This is just an iceberg of what goes on in kenya. In fact many crimes in kenya are committed by the police or people like Mr. Waiganjo. Kitukulacho ki nguoni mwetu.
Nzioki Bernard 3 January 2013 5:14 PM This guy is intelligent and the nsis should employ him and all top police officers in the rift should be fired for sitting on their job.
Dr.kulabusia kakai 3 January 2013 5:12 PM Life is divided into three terms - that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present to live better in the future
Anniota 3 January 2013 5:12 PM its hard to believe that this is happening in our Kenya. All along the man has been attending meetings and using govt resources without being noticed. where was the correct PPO? it means he was asleep. Kenyas we need to Pray hard that God may intervene and help us elect leaders who can take us far.
eric nyundi 3 January 2013 5:09 PM Wisdom dictates that i be silent for a moment. this is unthinkable in this era. Kenya is indeed rotten.
kanga 3 January 2013 5:06 PM we are told that the man was so powerful since he was regularly accompanied by ppo for lunch or super.That he was assigned police escort,police driver and ppo landrover to visit police stations for routine check.Not an imposter PPO knows more, please tell us.
cook 3 January 2013 5:05 PM wow! kenya ya ajabu kweli
Obumba 3 January 2013 5:03 PM He deserves a gold medal, who was he reporting to, IG your plate is full and overflowing, you must coduct a head count there must be more in the police force over to you and all the best.
Mwangi 3 January 2013 5:03 PM This is quite an uncomfortable situation for the cops - how did he fire police officers? Wasn't that the point at which he should have been detected? Does it mean that to fire a police officer you just tell them to go home without any official documents showing course? This is not a conman, he is a conduit - someone was using him and he just worn out his stay!
Mwangi 3 January 2013 5:01 PM This is quite an uncomfortable situation for the cops - how did he fire police officers? Wasn't that the point at which he should have been detected? Does it mean that to fire a police officer you just tell them to go home without any official documents showing course? This is not a conman, he is a conduit - someone was using him and he just worn out his stay!
Stayvo 3 January 2013 5:01 PM Some random guy infiltrating the police force like some science fiction thought to be desirable to the mind but impartial to the eye. I still wonder if this guy had an office in the provincial hq's near his seniors' chambers who would step in any moment to discuss crucial security urgencies with his 'deputy'
alex 3 January 2013 5:00 PM there must be senior officers had been helping him
esther 3 January 2013 4:57 PM this guy needs an Oscar. this makes for a Hollywood movie. if its true, hats off to him, i wonder how he pulled it off. ama he has fallen out with his bosses, maybe he has a sensitive dossier, n now they want to fry him alive
Delight 3 January 2013 4:56 PM Seriously, 5 years and this guy hadn't been caught? Is there a real Deputy PPO of Rift Valley Province? And if there is, how comes they've never crossed paths even once? This is all thanks to the so-called 'Chain of Commands' which makes you afraid to even look at your boss' eyes. I still don't understand how he got to mingle with top security organs in the country without being noticed. This must have been an inside job. And who knows, he might have a connection with the recent insecurity in the country. Now that Mr Kimaiyo is in office, what would you do sir?
Darrel 3 January 2013 4:56 PM Real signs of a weak security system, one thing is obvious though, he was not working alone. The next thing we will hear is an impersonation of the president.
ownlafe 3 January 2013 4:52 PM You remember another impostor in Kibera who used to walk with a sheep claiming it was a police dog at night, a very interesting country indeed!!!
Kalawa 3 January 2013 4:52 PM Did officers know their ways of Identification? Has he been sitting in any of the offices? which GK cars has he been using? In which station did he operate? Since he could not assist people from bushes, how did this happen? at what level did other officers respect only the uniform without demanding to know from which station did this "BOSS" operate from? How are police officers sacked? are they employed on the roadside billboards for everyone to sack them? Kenyans; We need prayers more than the food we are eating.
khamis athman 3 January 2013 4:49 PM reminds of the movie blue streak
Fahim musa 3 January 2013 4:47 PM Kenyans this is not normal in any circumstances i can only imagine that this guy was operating in the awareness of top man at vigilance house and since he has now retired the secrets are coming out.
Henry N. O. 3 January 2013 4:46 PM Just the other day a boy from Huruma was arrested with full KDF, Kenya Police, NYS uniforms and passes . To make matters worse he was also armedand with handcuffs. He managed to conduct criminal activities without any suspision from members of the public. Before then we hard the Autur brothers who were recruited into the Police force by politricians.An inquiry was conducted on them but the public is yet to know the outcome. Today's is the most intriguing because Joshua has operated as a police officer for such a long time during which i'm sure he committed nureous crimes. How on earthe can this happen? How much confidential information has leaked to the underground criminals? Of course he may not be alone in this game.
Harris Rono 3 January 2013 4:42 PM I am still in shock.Kweli najivunia kuwa mkenya.The guy is intelligent and should be deploy as in employement of hackers in developed world
Alan 3 January 2013 4:39 PM This is one smart man. If the man was good in his job, instead of wasting him in jail, let the government employ him within that very police force. He'll be an asset. After all, being employed is not a favor, he'll be working for the good of the country.
wainaina 3 January 2013 4:36 PM This is comedy. Contacted on phone, "Rift Valley PPO John M'bijiwe termed the accused as a conman whose time had come to an end". How did he impersonate himself as his deputy for 2 years? There is more to this story than meets the eye. Afro sinema continues shortly........
Tolbert Mwiine 3 January 2013 4:32 PM I think this is the smartest kenya I have ever heared of. 5 years! unbelievable......Kibaki should give him a medal. How many more are doing this in the police force
Kenyan
HEART 3 January 2013 4:26 PM I think this man need to write a book (his memoirs)...all be the first to buy.....how did he do that...?..genius con
Ali Hassan 3 January 2013 4:26 PM Kenya yetu ni nchi ya Ajabuu
Kimura 3 January 2013 4:26 PM Mmm niku hustle economy ni mbaya
BTIFIN Broadwat 3 January 2013 4:24 PM kenya kuna watu na viatu
pkania micah 3 January 2013 4:00 PM this only happens in Kenya
Shukri 3 January 2013 3:42 PM There is more than meet the eye here. What happens when the 'deputy ppo' arrives in a meeting with the actual deputy PPO also invited? Was'nt 5 years too long to detect nor was letter of appointment handed in to the the resident PPO. How about the pay slip number? Could be acase of impersonating a ghost officer. Kweli Kenya yetu ni nchi ya ajabu
JMM 3 January 2013 3:37 PM An unbelievable bizarre! My simple question is, who gave this man a police service number? How was he receiving his salary unless this was an inside job? How can a common person trust the police force (now police services)? Is this how we have been fleeced and maimed by goons in the police forces? Why hasn't there been head count to shame those who corrupted this trusted forces? I am left with no trust with the on goings in Kenya as a whole. As we approach the elections, more cleansing of the armed forces must be a priority. This is because I smell a rat especially with what conspired during the last general elections.
