NAIVASHA, KENYA: Police imposter Joshua Karianjahi Waiganjo is admitted at the Naivasha district hospital in serious condition.
Waiganjo was admitted under tight security in the facility over the weekend after his condition deteriorated.
According to a source in the hospital, the patient who is currently serving time in Naivasha G.K prison was brought in on Saturday evening.
He said that Waiganjo who is diabetic was brought in serious condition and was immediately admitted in the male ward.
“He is suffering from hypertension, uncontrolled diabetes and gout and his condition is slowly improving,” he said.
The superintendent in charge of the hospital Dr Joseph Mburu confirmed that Waiganjo is admitted in the hospital.
Mburu said that Waiganjo was brought in on Saturday evening while weak but conscious.
“After examination it was decided that the patient be admitted and he is currently undergoing treatment in the ward,” he said.
The doctor assured Waiganjo’s relatives who had visited the hospital that his condition was well and that he was recovering.
A relative expressed concern over the status of Waiganjo who hit the headlines last year after he was exposed as a fake police officer.
“We are concerned by his status as he has many enemies and we want assurance that his life is not in danger,” said the relative.
The officer in charge of Naivasha G.K prison Patrick Mwenda down played the incident noting that Waiganjo was diabetic.
He said that since he was brought in the prison, he had been under medication until over the weekend when he got some complications.
“His condition in prison has been good and he was taken to hospital due to his sugar levels but I am informed that he is in stable condition,” he said on phone.
He has been arraigned in several law courts in the country charged with various offences and is currently serving a two year jail term.
