Reply:

Information relating to services rendered to the State Security Agency (SSA) forms part of the broader operational strategy and therefore remains classified and privileged.

It should, however, be observed that the SSA is held accountable on such matters by the Joint Standing Committee on Intelligence (JSCI), the Inspector- General of Intelligence and the Auditor-General.
