Unamjua padri feki?


SIRI ya mafanikio ya Padri feki, Josephat Asenga, aliyekamatwa mkoani Morogoro, katika kuongoza Misa ya Kanisa Katoliki kwa kufuata taratibu zote maalumu bila kutiliwa shaka, imebainika. Asenga aliyetumia vitambulisho feki, alipojitambulisha kwa uongozi wa Kanisa Katoliki, Parokia ya Mtakatifu Maria Madeko mkoani Morogoro, alipopewa fursa ya kuongoza Misa, alitekeleza wajibu huo wa kipadri bila kuacha shaka. *Alivyojitambulisha Akizungumza na gazeti hili jana, kiongozi mmoja wa Kanisa Katoliki (jina limehifadhiwa), alithibitisha kuwa Asenga alipofika Parokiani hapo kati ya Mei na Juni mwaka jana, hakutiliwa shaka hata kidogo kuwa si Padri. Kwa mujibu wa kiongozi huyo, Asenga alifika kanisani hapo akiwa amevaa mavazi ya kipadri na kujitambulisha kuwa yupo nchini kwa mapumziko, akitokea nchini Marekani, alikodai ndipo anakofanyia shughuli zake za upadri katika Jimbo Kuu la New York. Mbali na kuvalia mavazi ya kipadri, Asenga pia alionesha kitambulisho na kusababisha uongozi uamini kuwa ni Padri na kumpa makaribisho ya Padri mwenzao. “Alipoonesha kitambulisho tulimwamini na jinsi alivyokuja na mavazi ya upadri na muonekano wake alionao, haikuwa rahisi kumtilia shaka,” alisema kiongozi huyo. *Kuongoza Misa Baada ya kupata makaribisho ya kipadri, Asenga kwa mujibu wa kiongozi huyo, aliomba apangiwe zamu ya kuongoza misa ya Jumapili iliyofuata na kukubaliwa. Kiongozi huyo alithibitisha kuwa Asenga aliongoza vyema misa hiyo, kwa kufuata taratibu zote za kanisa hilo kama zinavyofuatwa na mapadri wengine. Taratibu Kwa kawaida Misa katika Kanisa la Katoliki, huanzia Sakestia, sehemu ambayo mapadri na waministranti, ambao ni wasaidizi wao, huvaa majoho na kusali kabla ya kuingia kanisani wakisindikizwa na nyimbo. Baada ya kuingia madhabahuni, Padri hubusu madhabahu kabla ya kualika waumini katika Misa. Mualiko huo hufuatiwa na maelezo kidogo na kuanza Ibada ya Kitubio, ambayo waumini hutubu dhambi zao na kujiweka tayari kusikiliza neno la Mungu. Ibada ya kusomwa neno, kwa kawaida masomo matatu kutoka vitabu vya Agano la Kale na Jipya katika kitabu cha Bibilia Takatifu, Padri huanza kutoa mahubiri. Mahubiri yakiisha, Misa huendelea kwa sadaka na baadaye, Padri huongoza waumini kuanza kukumbuka maelezo ya siku ambayo Yesu Kristo alitoa Sakramenti katika Chakula cha Mwisho kwa wanafunzi wake akitaka wamkumbuke. Kwa kawaida, eneo hilo ndipo Padri kwa mamlaka aliyopewa, hufanya mageuzi ya sakramenti kuwa Hostia Takatifu, kwa maneno mengine hubariki mkate kuwa Mwili wa Kristo na divai kuwa Damu ya Kristo. Kwa Wakatoliki, eneo la mageuzi ni eneo muhimu na ndio waumini hutuma maombi kimya kimya, wakiamini ndio Kristo anashuka mwenyewe. Baada ya kutumikia Kanisa na kukubalika, Asenga aliaga kuwa anarudi nchini Marekani kwa kuwa muda wake wa mapumziko, umekwisha na kuagwa na Kanisa. Taarifa tata Wakati uongozi wa Kanisa Katoliki, Parokia ya Mtakatifu Maria Madeko, ukiwa na imani kuwa Asenga ni Padri na amerejea New York, kuendelea na Utume, walipata taarifa za kushangaza kutoka kwa baadhi ya waumini, wakidai wamekutana na Asenga mitaani. Mbali na taarifa hiyo ya kukutwa mitaani na waumini wake, taarifa zaidi zilieleza kuwa amekuwa akiishi na mwanamke katika eneo la Ujenzi, kinyume na desturi za mapadri wa Kanisa Katoliki duniani, ambao hawaruhusiwi kuoa. *Mtego 1 Baada ya taarifa hizo, kwa mujibu wa Kamanda wa Polisi Mkoa wa Morogoro, Leonard Paulo, Asenga aliwekewa mtego na Paroko wa Parokia hiyo ya Mtakatifu Maria Madeko, Malt Dyfrig Joseph. Paroko huyo inadaiwa aliwaomba waumini wamshawishi Asenga afike parokiani hapo na baada ya kufika, alihojiwa na Paroko huyo na kudai kuwa alipata upadirisho katika Jimbo Kuu Katoliki Dar es Salaam. Kwa mujibu wa Kamanda huyo, baada ya Paroko huyo kupata maelezo hayo, alifanya mawasiliano na Katibu wa Jimbo hilo la Dar es Salaam na kujibiwa kuwa hakuna jina la Padri huyo. Kukamatwa, akiri Mtego wa pili kwa mujibu wa Kamanda Paulo, ulifuata kwa Paroko huyo kutoa taarifa Polisi kuhusu uwepo wa Padri feki, ambaye aliaminiwa kwa kiwango cha kuruhusiwa kuongoza Misa. Taarifa hizo zinasema Alhamisi ya wiki hii, saa 10:30 jioni, Asenga alimpigia simu Paroko huyo na kuomba ampangie kazi ya kuendesha Misa Jumapili ya leo parokiani hapo, na kukubaliwa ambapo Paroko huyo alimtaka afike kanisani. Baada ya kufika, taratibu za kujulisha Polisi zilifanywa na askari walipofika kanisani hapo, walimkamata mtuhumiwa huyo. Kwa mujibu wa Kamanda Paulo, baada ya kufanya mahojiano na Asenga, alikiri kuwa yeye si Padri na walipokwenda nyumbani kwake kufanya upekuzi, walimkuta akiwa na majoho saba ya upadri. Mikoani, mafunzo Taarifa zaidi zilizofikia gazeti hili jana, zilibainisha kuwa Asenga huenda kwa kutumia mbinu hizo hizo, alishaaminiwa kuongoza Misa katika mkoa wa Kilimanjaro katika maeneo ya Uru na Moshi na mkoani Singida. Mbali na kukubalika katika mikoa hiyo, lakini taarifa zaidi zilibainisha kuwa Asenga alifanikiwa kote huko kuongoza Misa na kuaminiwa, kutokana na mafunzo ambayo aliwahi kupata huko nyuma. Inadaiwa Asenga alianza kupata mafunzo katika Seminari ya Kanisa Katoliki ya Uru, ambako alipata mafunzo ya elimu ya sekondari. Baada ya kumaliza kwa mafanikio masomo yake katika seminari hiyo, alichaguliwa kujiunga na Seminari ya Kibosho, ambayo inatajwa kuwa maalumu kwa ajili ya kutoa elimu ya falsafa kwa wanafunzi na wengi ni wanaotarajiwa kuwa mapadri. Mafanikio aliyoyapata katika masomo ya falsafa katika Seminari ya Kibosho, yalimwezesha kujiunga na Seminari ya Kipalapala, ambako inaelezwa ndiko kunakotolewa mafunzo ya Liturgia, ambayo nayo ni sehemu ya mafunzo wapewayo wanafunzi wanaotarajiwa kuwa mapadri. Waumini Ingawa taarifa za mafunzo aliyopata zinatiliwa shaka, lakini namna alivyoongoza Misa bila kutiliwa shaka, imesababisha baadhi ya waumini kuanza kumjadili, ili kufahamu hasa nia yake ilikuwa ipi. Kutokana na taaluma nyingine aliyonayo ya uhasibu, amesababisha baadhi ya waumini kuunganisha matukio na uwezo wake na kuamini kuwa huenda hakuwa akitafuta sadaka. Mmoja wa waumini aliyezungumza na gazeti hili kwa sharti la kutotajwa jina, alidai kuwa huenda Asenga alikuwa na njama za kujipatia fedha kwa njia ya udanganyifu kutoka kwa wafadhili mbalimbali. Kwa mujibu wa madai ya muumini huyo, watu wa aina ya Asenga, ambaye ana taaluma na uwezo wa kipadri, wana njia nyingi za kujipatia kipato, hivyo inawezekana alidanganya wafadhili wake kuwa yeye ni Padri ili apate ufadhili huo. Muumini huyo alikwenda mbali na kudai huenda masharti ya ufadhili huo, ni kupata picha au sauti yake akiongoza Misa kanisani. “Inawezekana kuna mahali aliomba ufadhili kwa ajili ya kitu fulani na aliwadanganya kuwa yeye ni Padri, ndio maana akaamua kuomba zamu ya kuongoza Misa. “Utapeli umeingia mpaka kwenye nyumba za ibada kweli? Wanadamu tumekosa hofu ya Mungu!” Alihoji muumini huyo na kuasa jamii kuwa macho, kwa kuwa hivi sasa matapeli ni wengi na kila siku wanatoka na mbinu mpya. Credit:Habari Leo

Uchaguzi wa bunge waahirishwa Misri

Tume ya uchaguzi ya Misri inasema kuwa inatayarisha ratiba mpya ya uchaguzi wa wabunge ambao ukitarajiwa kufanywa badaae mwezi huu. Hapo awali mahakama kuu ya Misri yaliamua kuwa sehemu ya sheria kuhusu uchaguzi inakwenda kinyume na katiba na hivo kuzusha uwezekano wa kucheleweshwa. Rais Abdul Fattah al-Sisi alijibu hukumu hiyo kwa kuamrisha kuwa sheria mpya kuhusu uchaguzi itayarishwe katika mwezi mmoja. Bunge la Misri lilivunjwa mwaka wa 2012 baada ya kufutwa na mahakama. Na wizara ya mambo ya ndani ya nchi ya Misri imewasamehe na kuwaachilia huru wafungwa 68 kufuatana na msamaha aliotoa rais. Rais Abdul Fattah al-Sisi alitoa amri hiyo mwezi wa Januari kuadhimisha miaka mine baada ya mapinduzi yaliyomtoa madarakani Rais Hosni Mubarak. Wafungwa wengine 72 wamefunguliwa kwa shuruti wasivunje sheria tena. Inafikiriwa kuwa wengi walioachiliwa huru walikuwa wafungwa wa kisiasa. Tangu Rais Sisi kushika madaraka waandamanaji kama 1,400 wameuliwa na askari wa usalama, na kama 40,000 wamekamatwa - wengi wao wanashutumiwa kuwa Waislamu

Clashes erupt at pro-Morsi demonstrations in Egypt

Clashes have erupted between supporters of Egypt's ousted President Mohammed Morsi, opponents and security forces in the capital, Cairo, and Alexandria. There has been heavy gunfire and explosions in the city centre. State TV reported further clashes in the northern Sharqiya district and to the east in Giza, as well as in the northern port city of Alexandria. Hundreds have been killed since the military deposed Mr Morsi in July. Our correspondent says the protesters in the capital's Agouza district were chanting "Rabaa, Rabaa", a reference to the square next the Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque where a sit-in was cleared by force in August. Thousands of members of the Muslim Brotherhood have also been detained in the past two months. Several senior figures, including Mr Morsi and the movement's general guide Mohammed Badie, are being held on charges such as incitement to violence and murder. The authorities portray the crackdown as a struggle against "terrorism". Before Friday's clashes, soldiers and police had tightened security around key sites in Cairo, including Tahrir Square, the focus of the mass protests against Mr Morsi and his predecessor, Hosni Mubarak. Morsi supporters said they would be intensifying their demonstrations in the lead-up to Sunday's 40th anniversary of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.

"This actions are being led by Americans and Israelis, Sheikh Ibrahim was not at Westgate during the attack. Western governments do not want Muslims to talk about Jihad. It is part and parcel of Islam, kill us all," he said.

The ITAR-TASS news agency's witnesses said attackers tore down a Russian flag. The situation was soon brought under control and there are currently no intruders on Russia’s embassy territory. According to reports, around 10 attackers drove to the embassy in two cars. Libyan News Agency (LANA) reports that they first opened fire on a parked diplomatic vehicle. A video still from Ruptly's exclusive footage shows a car burning in an almost deserted street outside the embassy. Video still from Ruptly’s exclusive footage shows the Russian Embassy in Tripoli, Libya after an attack by unknown militants on October 2, 2013. After setting the car ablaze, the attackers opened fire on the diplomatic building itself, LANA reported. But  as security forces arrived at the scene, they drove off in an unknown direction. Libya’s Interior Ministry believes the attack on the Russian embassy could have been a reaction to the reported killing of a Libyan air force pilot by a Russian woman on Tuesday. The woman was arrested by Libyan authorities and is accused of murdering the pilot, writing offensive graffiti in his blood, and stabbing his mother.  The reason for the murder is not known, but Libyan authorities noted that the graffiti expressed anti-opposition sentiments.  There has been no confirmation of this incident from Russian diplomatic channels. A similar attack on Russia’s Tripoli embassy took place in February 2012 when protesters stormed the compound, condemning Russian and Chinese decisions to block the UN resolution against Syria. No one was injured in that attack. Nearly two years after Gaddafi was deposed and killed, Tripoli and other Libyan cities have been plagued by violence, lawlessness and factional infighting. The presence of militiamen remains more visible than actual state security forces in the capital, while vast portions of the oil-producing desert country remain completely out of the central government’s control. Libya’s prime minister has appealed for international help as the country struggles through political turmoil amid stunted oil exportation which is costing the country $130 million a day. As Libya continues to be mired in post-Western intervention disarray, Gaddafi's overthrow has not shown to have yielded a conciliatory political climate as many had hoped.  “Ever since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi’s government we’ve seen in Libya the mob rule of countless militias or death squads,” activist and journalist Sukant Chandan told RT. One of the most vicious attacks on foreign embassies in Libya took place in September 2012, when the US ambassador to Libya and three other Americans were killed as armed militants assaulted Washington's consulate in Benghazi.

Global population to rise to 9.7bn in 2050 - French study

The world's population will rise to 9.7 billion in 2050 from the current level of 7.1 billion, according to a bi-annual report by the French Institute of Demographic Studies (Ined). It projected there would be 10 to 11 billion people on the planet by the end of the century, AFP reported. A parallel UN study in June said the global population would swell to 9.6 billion in 2050. Ined said Africa would be home to a quarter of the world's population in 2050 with 2.5 billion people, more than double the current level of 1.1 billion. The world's most populous nation is currently China with 1.3 billion people, followed by India (1.2 billion). In 2050, India with 1.6 billion will overtake China, Ined said.

UK Islamic school shut down after accusations of strict religious practices

A school in central England has been closed following controversy over its harsh Islamic line and a subsequent assessment by Government inspectors. It has been under intense scrutiny in recent weeks for its treatment of female students and teachers. A spokesperson for Ofsted, the schools watchdog, told RT: “We can confirm that Ofsted is currently undertaking a two-day inspection of the Al-Madinah School in Derby.” The BBC has reported that it ‘understands’ findings were “so damning” that the head was forced to immediately shut it down. The school had previously caused a media sensation in the UK after it was alleged that it enforced segregation by gender, meaning girls were forced to sit at the back of the classrooms. It also reportedly forced female members of staff – including non-Muslims- to wear the hijab.  The acting headmaster of Al-Madinah in Derby was prompted to shut the school without delay as the Ofsted assessment was underway, posting a message on the school’s website: “Owing to a health and safety issues, I have taken the decision to close the school to primary and secondary pupils until I am confident that all children are safe on site,” said acting Principal Dr. Stuart Wilson. “As parents, you will be informed directly, and on the website, when you are able to send your children back to school. I expect this to be in the very near future.” Parents have been gathering outside the school demanding answers. “Yesterday, I received a one-line letter telling me the school would be closed but not giving any reasons,” Ali Mohammed, who has a six year old daughter at the school, told the Derby Telegraph. “I've come down here to ask some questions. I want to know what is going on and, if there are health and safety issues, then I'm very concerned,” he said. The school, which opened in September 2012, had already been placed under investigation by the Education Funding Agency; as a free school, Al Madinah is eligible for public, central government-funding from the agency, while also being required to enter its pupils for standardized public examinations, for example GCSEs – a nationwide exam taken at the age of 16. Al-Madinah was already on the Department of Education’s radar prior to the Ofsted investigation. “The Department for Education said it discussed the school with Ofsted before we undertook the inspection,” a spokesperson for the watchdog told RT. Teachers have recently been coming forward over the harsh restrictions placed on their attire whilst tutoring in the classroom. Female teachers have faced particularly harsh victimization, with one recently quitting amidst a row over her dress. A male colleague looked her up and down and told her that she had failed to observe ‘common decency,’ according to Britain’s Daily Mail. “If I had known that it was compulsory for non-Muslim women staff [to cover up] before I started the job, I would never have accepted the post,” the anonymous teacher said.  Sue Arguile, of the National Union of Teachers, said that “Free schools set their own rules – but forcing people to agree to contractual changes could breach employment law.” The Education Funding Agency has also been investigating alleged financial irregularities, according to the BBC. The wearing of the hijab has been an ongoing source of controversy in the UK, with even Cameron voicing his support for a ban on wearing full veils in UK schools. “In a school, it’s very difficult to teach unless you can look at your pupils in the eye,” UK Prime Minister David Cameron told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show on Sunday. The niqab face veil is currently banned in France and Belgium, and debate was sparked last month following the dropping of a ban at the West-Midlands based Birmingham Metropolitan College amid protests.

Hinkley C nuclear plant deal 'within weeks' of completion

A contract to build the UK's first nuclear plant in a generation is said to be "within weeks" of completion. Energy Minister Michael Fallon told the Financial Times he was "working intensely" to seal a deal for the £14bn Hinkley Point C reactor in Somerset. Long negotiations have taken place with France's EDF over the price it could charge for the electricity generated. Government approval to build the first in a planned set of new nuclear sites in the UK was granted in March. "We're not quite there yet, but I hope we will be in the next few weeks," Mr Fallon told the FT. Talks between EDF and the government stalled earlier this year over the guaranteed price at which the electricity could be sold. China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group has a co-operation agreement with EDF and could claim a stake of up to 49% in the project, the FT reports. Price concern The government's plan to meet its emissions reduction and renewable energy targets were outlined in last year's Energy Bill. It hopes the UK can become more self-sufficient in its energy by increasing the use of both nuclear and wind power, as well as other forms of clean sources such as biomass. He suggested the deal with EDF, which has not commented on the reports, would pave the way for further negotiations on new nuclear plants planned by Japan's Hitachi in Anglesey and Oldbury, in Gloucestershire. There is also said to be interest in further investment in the UK's nuclear sector from companies in South Korea, China and Japan. Mr Fallon said: "There's intense interest there because people can see that finally we're getting our civil nuclear programme moving again after the long, dead Labour years." However, environmental groups such as Friends of the Earth have raised concerns over the potentially high price for electricity the government will agree to in order to get the new plants built, and the issue of nuclear waste. Hinkley Point C will be the third nuclear plant at the Somerset site and will have the potential to provide power for five million homes. Hinkley A, which is now being decommissioned, began generating in 1965 and was closed down in 1999. Hinkley B, which started generating in 1976, is due to be turned off in 2023. The last nuclear plant built in the UK was Sizewell B in Suffolk, completed in 1995.

The Gambia to withdraw from Commonwealth

The Gambia is to withdraw from the Commonwealth, 48 years after joining. The west African nation branded the 54-member grouping, which includes the UK and most of its former colonies, a "neo-colonial institution". The withdrawal was announced on state TV but no other reasons were given. Two years ago President Yahya Jammeh accused the UK of backing his political opposition ahead of elections. The UK said it would "very much regret" The Gambia leaving the Commonwealth. There is a history of tension between President Jammeh, who came to power in a 1994 coup, and the UK. Earlier this year, a Foreign Office report singled out The Gambia for its human rights record, citing cases of unlawful detentions, illegal closures of newspapers and discrimination against minority groups. In August last year The Gambia was criticised by Amnesty International and others for executing nine prisoners by firing squad. The Commonwealth was founded in 1931 but acquired its modern shape after 1949 as former British colonies and protectorates, including The Gambia, started to achieve self-government and varying degrees of independence. 'Colonialism extension' The Gambia joined the Commonwealth in 1965 The grouping dropped the word British from its name and the allegiance to the crown from its statute and other independent nations joined. In its statement, The Gambian government said it had "withdrawn its membership of the British Commonwealth". It said it had "decided that The Gambia will never be a member of any neo-colonial institution and will never be a party to any institution that represents an extension of colonialism". The last time a nation left the Commonwealth was in 2003, when Zimbabwe withdrew. The UK's Foreign Office said: "Decisions on Commonwealth membership are a matter for each member government. We would very much regret Gambia, or any other country, deciding to leave the Commonwealth." Queen Elizabeth II, who is 87, is the head of the Commonwealth, which holds its next heads of government meeting in Colombo, Sri Lanka, next month. However, the gathering will be the first that the Queen has not attended. She is sending her son, the Prince of Wales instead, with Buckingham Palace saying she is making fewer overseas trips because of her age.

FA accused of match-fixing inaction

The Football Association has been accused of a "dereliction of duty" after failing to question three non-league clubs about suspicious betting activity on a number of games. Billericay Town, AFC Hornchurch and Chelmsford all came under scrutiny from the FA after bookmakers stopped taking bets on several matches involving the clubs in the Football Conference South last season. The FA promised to act and told clubs to "remind players and officials of their responsibilities under the rules". But the chairmen of all three Essex clubs have told BBC Sport that none of them have been questioned or even approached. The former head of the FA's compliance unit, Graham Bean, said the governing body's failure to contact the clubs was "disgraceful". He added: "It is my belief that the FA tend to stick their heads in the sand at suggestions of match-fixing and tend to give a perception that they don't think it actually exists. "When I was at the FA, I once raised the idea of having an intelligence hotline where anonymous contact could be made to report wrongdoing. I was laughed at for the suggestion." The chairman of Billericay Town now wants the FA to conduct a thorough investigation. "I am calling for the authorities in this country to investigate the possibility of match-fixing at our level of football," said Steve Kent. "How can they investigate alleged match-fixing involving my club when not a single person from the police, the FA, or the league made any kind of approach to us whatsoever? It's amazing." Last month, a group of British players in Australia were arrested and charged with match-fixing offences while playing for the Melbourne-based Stars in the second-tier Victorian Premier League. All four of the accused played non-league football in England before moving to the Stars. Three of them - Joe Woolley, Reiss Noel and Nick McKoy - joined from AFC Hornchurch. "In the light of recent events in Australia, it's time for a proper investigation," said Kent. "I'm not saying match-fixing is rife or commonplace, but from the information I have been gathering it certainly warrants an investigation. "When I saw the names involved I was shocked. The names I was reading I was so familiar with. Last season, they were all playing at our level. We played against them. That's what shocked me the most. "You don't know if it's gone on. There were rumours last year in the press so it makes you wonder. I didn't believe that there could be match-fixing at this level, I thought the players were too honest." Colin McBride, the chairman of AFC Hornchurch, told the BBC he was backing Billericay's stance and said the FA had been "amateurish". "It's surprising the FA didn't contact us, you'd have thought we'd have got a courtesy call," he said. "We feel in limbo. We can't draw a line under it and we want to move on. That's the disappointing thing, I think we deserve an answer." McBride said he hoped his former players, who he described as "good lads, good footballers", were acquitted. "I truly hope they're innocent," he said. "I'm deeply shocked and deeply upset. I truly hope they're found not guilty." The BBC has learnt that concerns were raised at the FA and within the betting industry when irregular amounts of money were gambled on certain Conference South matches last season. For example, despite being a match in the sixth tier of the English game, played out in front of just 408 spectators, hundreds of thousands of pounds was placed on Billericay's away match at Welling in November, the vast majority of it on Asian betting exchanges. "It was a phenomenal amount of money," said Kent, who has conducted his own inquiries into why bookmakers suddenly stopped taking bets on matches involving his club. "There was more money bet on our game than on the Barcelona game [that week]. That's where the story came from. The FA and the league picked up on that but they did nothing about it. "If there is a problem, let's sort it out, get rid of it and move on. The FA are the only ones that can do it really - they have the power." Kent said not everyone is happy he has decided to speak out, but he is determined the issue is addressed. He added: "We don't want cheating, we don't want to win or lose just because someone has identified our club as vulnerable, or someone wants to make a fast buck. "We want to know that when we go to a game our players have given their best." Sources at the FA have told the BBC that a lack of direct contact with Billericay, AFC Hornchurch and Chelmsford does not mean enquiries have not been made. The BBC has also learned that the governing body has been sharing information with the authorities in Australia. "The FA takes the matter of integrity extremely seriously," said a spokesman. "The FA does not confirm any details of investigations or enquiries made, or indeed whether they are ongoing." Former FA chairman Lord Triesman told the BBC he was "astonished" to learn that no-one at Billericay, Hornchurch or Chelmsford had been interviewed by the FA. He added: "It seems to me to be one of the first obligations of the organisation to ensure the sport's properly regulated and scrupulously fair. "Match-fixing, which has been a huge problem in leagues around the world, is one of the most critical problems. It destroys the ethics of the game." Asked if he thought match-fixing was going on in English football, Triesman added: "You can never be complacent about it. "If there's a credible allegation, it should be investigated immediately by the regulatory body. That is their duty."
