CAF Executive Committee. I have seen people come to contest elections at the CAF Executive and they can spend a whole fortune to get elected. Some of them can pay $2000 to $5000 per voter to be elected. So people spend money. And you serve on the CAF Excecuive Committee and you are paid $20 000 a year which is paid in two installments of $10 000 every six months.
