"Golden Passport" To Save Botswana's Economy? | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Описание: Botswana is considering a controversial “golden passport” scheme, offering citizenship for $100,000, as it searches for new revenue streams amid falling diamond sales.

Critics warn of corruption and money laundering risks, while experts question whether thousands of families will actually apply. With diamonds underpinning Botswana’s economy, President Duma Boko’s government is gambling on a bold new idea. Will it pay off? The jury, for now, remains firmly out.
