Former Internal Security minister Julius Sunkuli's family is seeking answers after the death of their son, Mr Augustine Salaton.
Speaking to Nation, the family noted that they want police to conduct thorough investigations into the death of their son who died under unclear circumstances.
According to Sunkuli and his brother Charles Sunkuli, who is the Environment Principal Secretary, the police theory that Mr Salaton died in a road accident may be untrue.
The PS exclaimed that they have asked the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to investigate the death of his nephew.

Mr Sunkuli revealed that they found his son's body at Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital mortuary on Saturday, May 19.
According to the hospital, the body was taken there on May 8 by police officers who alleged that they collected it from a lorry parking lot in Kilgoris, Narok County.
Mr Sunkuli claims that he last saw his 29-year-old son on May 7, when he left him at their Poroko home.
The late, who worked as a Chinese interpreter, was reported missing two weeks ago.
The family later received reports that a body had been collected by police from a parking lot two weeks ago and taken to the mortuary as an unknown person.
Trans Mara West police boss David Wambua affirmed that the body had injuries on the head and lower abdomen which police suspect may have been as a result of an accident.
“There were skid marks of a lorry at the scene. This indicates that the victim may have been knocked by the vehicle,” highlighted the police boss.
However, the family suspects that he was murdered and asserted that a postmortem will be done on Tuesday (today) or Wednesday.
“Besides the injuries, my son’s body appeared to have been burnt with acid. He seems to have struggled a lot in his death, which is evident in the injuries on his head and fingers,” the former Chinese ambassador stated.
