An audio version of the 1992 Constitution will be submitted to President John Dramani Mahama and the Constitution Review Committee by music producer Joseph Appiah, popularly known as Quick Action.
Quick Action is itching to present an audiobook, which was produced many years ago when he conceived the idea of making the Constitution relatable to citizens in major local dialects.
"The laudable idea has received a high number of endorsements from some politicians, media houses, and legal practitioners. Finally, the idea received formal approval by the previous government in the year 2022,” Joseph Appiah stated.
He believes that several Ghanaians do not understand their constitutional rights because it is a struggle for them to understand them in the English language.
Hence, his optimism that the president will fully support his efforts.
“I am a citizen of Ghana, and I believe if the Constitution, which is the mother of all legal documents and practices, is written in English, it makes many citizens act as if they are not citizens."
"Almost 90% of Ghanaians can not access even the fundamental human rights of the Constitution. President Mahama is a listening president, and I know he will ensure the implementation of this initiative,” he noted.
Joseph Appiah further mentioned that the Constitution is old enough to be translated, recorded, and produced in local languages for easy access and for other relevant usage in the future.
It is, however, not clear when Quick Action will present the document to the president.
In 2023, Quick Action asked organisers of the annual Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA ) to honour him with a merit award for his immense contribution to Ghanaian music and a larger extent, the scheme’s success.
In a Facebook post yesterday, April 23, 2023, Quick Action, who has produced works for several award-winning Ghanaian artists such as Samini, Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, Okomfo Kwaade, Ohemaa Mercy, Cindy Thompson, among many others, said the progress of Ghanaian music could be attributed to the numerous sacrifices he has made in the industry.
“LETTER TO VGMA
“Dear VGMA,
“It is with much gratitude I write this letter, I also wish to Congratulate you for the touch of excellence you put up in regards of your annual Vodafone Ghana Music Awards scheme over the years.

“I have done productions for Musicians such as TIC,SAMINI,SARKODIE, STONEBWOY,BLAKK RASTA,AFRO MOSES,PRINCE BRIGHT, OKOMFO KWADEE,BEN BRAKO,KWAW KESE,OHEMAA MERCY,CINDY THOMPSON and many others who's works have won several awards.
“I wish to draw your attention on the fact that I have not received the due recognition under your Award scheme as far as Creativity is concern.
“At least a MERIT AWARD.
“I also request your good office to grant me 15 minutes of your stage time to enable me perform some of the instrumentals of my productions with KEYTAR. This I believe will help my DYSLEXIA AWARENESS CAMPAIGN.
