Wealthy prisoner, Joshua Waiganjo
A wealthy prisoner, Joshua Waiganjo who got into trouble after
impersonating an assistant commissioner for five years, on Thursday
shocked a Nakuru Court after he revealed that he had been giving ‘fuel
money’ to corrupt prison bosses on a regular basis.
He revealed before the Senior Resident Magistrate Joe Omido that he
had been giving “a lot of money” to prison officers so they can
transport him to Nyeri, Nakuru, and Kajiado where he has pending cases.
The Kenyans
reports that he went to court after the demand became too much and he
needed to make a case against the corrupt officials. He was allowed to
make his case before the Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission (EACC),
Kenya.
“The bosses always say that the vehicles have no fuel and if I don't provide the same, I cannot attend court,” Waiganjo told the Nakuru court.
Waiganjo who told the court that the warders are aware of the
misconduct further revealed that he did not feel safe going back to the
Nakuru GK prison and requested that he be remanded at Naivasha GK prison
so that he can record a statement at Naivasha Police Station.
His wish was granted.
According to The Kenyans, Waiganjo hit national headlines after he
was found to have impersonated an assistant commissioner of police for
five years.
He is even said to have at one point inspected a guard of honour by
Kenya Forestry guards during a graduation ceremony at Londiani, Kericho
County.
After he was apprehended, Waiganjo was found guilty of
impersonating a police officer and sentenced to five years in prison.
However, there are other ongoing cases against him.
