Actually, to be light about this, sometimes it's nice that during budgetary deliberations members of the executive are forced to cooperate with Parliament. After all, we are the ones who approve their budget.
In one of those budgetary hearings, I was able to ask them about the existence of the CAA, because as I mentioned, the constitution prohibits paramilitary groups that are unregulated. They were forced to admit that there was the special CAA. They were forced to admit it, although of course, they phrased it in a nice way, saying that the SCAA, or the special CAA, is there to protect the people and the community. But because they don't have any budget, they ask for donations from the community and the companies operating in the area to help in the maintenance of these groups. “We assure your honour,” they said, “that we will have operational control over the special paramilitaries.”
