Waiganjo who is in police custody is accused of a spate of criminal activities
The National Police Commission is currently meeting over the controversy surrounding the fake police officer. 
A special investigative team appointed after a directive by the President is also expected to commence investigations Monday.
The team appointed over the weekend has 10 days to submit its findings on how Waiganjo managed to operate for five years as a fake Deputy PPO.
President Kibaki who ordered the probe said the incident was of vital concern to the government and stressed that no cover-ups or blame games will be tolerated.
NPSC chair Johnstone Kavuludi  is expected to give a media briefing on their progress. The scandal has exposed the rot in the police force, with senior police officers issuing contradictory statements about Waiganjo's activities.
Police spokesman Erick Kiraithe says Waiganjo's service ended in 2003 while Rift Valley Police boss John M'Mbijiwe says the alleged imposter was the head of KPR in Rift Valley until his arrest last week.
The probe team is expected to find out among other things when Waigango started impersonating as a policeman, under whose instructions he was working and who facilitated his payment.
The team is also mandated establish where and how he acquired equipment. The team will also report on resources accessed and breached by the police reservist, and the magnitude of the scam.
