Emotions ran high during Dr Kiptoo's send-off, as the family and leaders urged the government to bring to book those responsible for his death.
Johana Rono described his son as a social, humble and kind person and wondered why someone decided to end his life.
"He was full of life. My son was social, humble and kind, and we are yet to come to terms with his death. We don't know why someone ended his life," Rono said.
He said the family would only rest when they get justice.
"As a family, our only appeal is to know exactly what happened to our son. We want justice," he said.
Sarah Rono termed her son's death as a big blow to the family saying they had sacrificed to educate him.
"We sacrificed a lot to support him to complete his studies. We had hopes he would help us when he secures a job," said Mrs Rono.
Local leaders called for justice, saying Dr Kiptoo's death was a blow to the area.
