I apologise.
It seems you can use sudo with RunAsRoot, i just tried RunAsRoot("sudo ls
/etc/") and the output was sent to stdout.

So the problem was no pkexec , gksudo, kdesudo or lxde-sudo was found.

debian mate "should" have pkexec installed with mate-polkit

try..
sudo apt-get install mate-polkit
