The Disciplinary Committee of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has imposed a fine of GH₵10,000 on Real Tamale United FC following misconducts in their Ghana Premier League Day 13 game against Medeama SC at the Aliu Mahama Stadium.
RTU FC was charged for failing to ensure the safety of the Match Commissioner contrary to section 16(1)(c) of the GFA Disciplinary Code, 2019.
The Club was also charged for the Inappropriate behaviour on the part of their Supporters contrary to section 16(2)(c) of the GFA Disciplinary Code, 2019.
The Club pleaded guilty to the charges and pleaded for mitigation.
At its last meeting the GFA Disciplinary Committee fined the Club and has also banned RTU FC from playing their next three home matches at the Aliu Mahama Stadium.
The RTU FC was also warned that any further misconduct would result in severe sanctions.
Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
