It should be noted that the SSA has not engaged the services of the company mentioned. Yet, in applying the principles of the broader SSA strategy not to divulge information relating to operations, it is recommended that the following answer be submitted:
- Information relating to service providers to the State Security Agency (SSA) forms part of the broader operational strategy of the SSA and therefore remains classified and privileged.
-
- Information about service providers and details such as travel information are matters that fall in the ambit of national security and therefore excluded from public disclosure.
-
- It should however be observed that the SSA is held accountable on such matters by the Joint Standing Committee on Intelligence (JSCI).
