Controversies surrounding his father's death

In 2013, Mutula Kilonzo Jnr at the Machakos High court, testified in an inquest into his father's death and indicated there was suspicion on lack of reports about the people close to his father and workers he had made contact within the last days before his death. He claimed that a cover-up had been hatched after a postmortem was conducted at the Lee Funeral Home, in a bid to protect the perpetrators[10]. The police, however, ruled out foul play saying that the autopsy conducted revealed that Mutula Kilonzo died of natural causes and had excessive blood bleeding due to the high blood pressure he was suffering as indicated by the internal organs. They further indicated that they had interviewed all the persons at Mutula's Maanzoni Residence, where he met his death[11]. This was followed by a tough tussle in court between Nduku Kilonzo, Mutula's second wife, and the children about the execution of the will. The will according to Mutula Kilonzo, Nduku Kilonzo and Kilonzo Musembi, his father were the only sole executors of the will, against Nduku's proposal of single-handedly executing herself that the children were against. They finally resorted to solving the dispute out of the courts[12].
