Zambia Railways Director of Finance Elijah Nyirenda has died mysteriously a day after objecting to Patriotic Front manoeuvres to syphon money from the railway company to fund Presidential campaigns.

Nyirenda who was put to rest at Ndola’s Kansenshi cemetery on Saturday fell ill in his office at the new offices in Lusaka. He asked a company driver to drive him to his residence. He was stating alone as his family was still in Ndola. When the driver went to check on him later, he found him struggling for his life. He was rushed to UTH where he died shortly afterwards.
