Former NAGRAT President Angel Carbonu Claims He Rejected Money to Insert LGBTQ Content in Education Documents
Accra, Ghana – Former National Graduate Association of Teachers president Angel Carbonu says he turned down multiple financial offers to allow LGBTQ-related provisions into educational policy documents during his time in office.
In a video statement posted on Facebook on Sunday, May 31, 2026, Mr. Carbonu alleged that he was approached with “huge sums of money” to silently approve content he opposed. He said he rejected every attempt.
“I have been enticed several times with huge sums of money to allow some of these sentiments of LGBTQ to pass through certain documents, albeit silently, and I can assure you and trust me on this, I vehemently rejected it,” he stated.
The former union leader also raised questions about what he described as strong international funding and backing for LGBTQ advocacy. According to him, the scale of support and caliber of people involved made him question the underlying motivations.“The verve, the emotion, the willingness, and readiness to let out huge sums of money, the calibre of people who support these programmes all over the world, my question is: what motivates them?” Mr. Carbonu asked.
He further claimed that some meetings organized by diplomatic missions in Accra started with broad themes but later focused on LGBTQ issues.
“As president of NAGRAT, I was invited to several embassies in Accra to attend meetings. The theme of these meetings was very ambiguous, to say the least. It was when you go for the meeting that you realise that the discussions begin gradually to zero down to specific issues of LGBTQ,” he recounted.
Mr. Carbonu argued that Ghana’s education sector faces more urgent problems that need funding and attention.“There are weightier matters in the education field than LGBTQ,” he said.
His remarks come as public debate continues over Ghana’s Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, which Parliament has passed and is awaiting further action.
