The committee have been given four weeks to submit its report to the King of the Ashanti kingdom and have been mandated to do the following;

• Investigate all the circumstances surrounding Asante Kotoko Sporting Club transactions with Tunisian Club Esperance which resulted in the FIFA ruling and the subsequent transfer of another Asante Kotoko player to the club.
