Botswana emerges as preferred host for KP secretariat

The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, known informally as the KP, wraps up its plenary in Gaborone today (Friday) with delegates due to vote on confirming Botswana as the host of the secretariat.

On Wednesday, BusinessWeek established that a technical team of the 85-member state KP had selected Botswana as a unanimous recommendation after an extensive process over the years in which the five bidders were whittled down to two and eventually one.
