Police imposter Joshua Waiganjo has been charged afresh with five counts including that of impersonating a senior police officer.

Waiganjo was arraigned at Naivasha law courts on Tuesday after High Court judge Christine Meolli quashed his five-year jail term.

The man was sentenced to five years in jail for impersonating a police officer, dressing in police uniform and being in possession of government stores. He had been at Naivasha GK Prison for almost two years.

The accused will know on June 27 whether he will be released on bond as Naivasha chief magistrate Dominica Nyambu will review his application.

Waiganjo, who appeared in court alone, was charged with posing as an assistant commissioner of police on September 28, 2012.

The court heard that on that day, he visited a station and warned sergeant Benson Wambua and constable Joseph Korir that he would take disciplinary measures against them.

The man faced three other charges of being in possession of government items, contrary to section 36 of the penal code.
