The management of High Wycombe's largest mosque has been called into question by MP Steve Baker amid "serious allegations of improper conduct".
The Wycombe MP was approached in May by a member of the Wycombe Islamic Mission and Mosque Trust - which runs four mosques in High Wycombe, Micklefield, Castlefield, Townfield House and Jubilee Road - who Mr Baker said was "rightly concerned" about its governance.
It comes after a long-running dispute between the mosques' management committee and its members, who have urged them to resign and allow for a fresh election to be called.
.... It says that no elections have been held since November 2015, no AGM has taken place since the current management committee took office and makes allegations of a lack of "financial transparency, scrutiny and oversight" - even though the Trust reportedly had an income of more than half a million pounds in the last financial year.
The petition also makes claims of nepotism and adds: "Several individuals of the mosque management committee use their position to gain favour for their respective political parties and affiliations". [Bucks Free Press] Read more
