West Java restricts overseas travel - of Gov.

[dArKeR]

The West Java administration and provincial legislative council spends more money on itself than it does on the public at large, the province's deputy governor conceded Wednesday.

In response the administration and legislative council agreed here on Wednesday to restrict overseas travel to limit expenditure in the 2004 budget.

Under the agreement made in a plenary session of the legislature, local civil servants and councillors cannot visit the United States or Europe for study tours.
