A good idea. However, the system might be open to more corruption. Selling the national passports to foreigners without due process is one of the gravest state crimes. Julius Maada Bio and Abass Bundu are on record for the sale of Sierra Leone passports over the years. Guinea and Gambia are examples of countries you hardly this happen.
