The Solomon Star says this information was revealed in Parliament by the Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare when questioned by the leader of the opposition, Jeremiah Manele.
Mr Sogavare also said the country has spent $US1.9 million dollars on political appointees in the past two years.
That money covered income and overseas travel expenses for the 57 political appointees - the highest number ever employed by a Solomons government.
