The President of Somaliland earns yearly approximately 565 000 USD ( 2007 )
Wich is montly 47 083 dollars
The Vice President makes 183 000 USD
15 250 USD
Total so far without the ministers
62 233 USD
but with the ministers of finance , foreign secretary , agriculture , defence
and so on I am sure it would pass 200 000 dollars easily .
