History

The city of Bogor (then known as Buitenzorg) was granted autonomous city (Gemeente) status under the Dutch East Indies in 1905.^[1] The city council (gemeenteraad) was formed on 18 March 1905, and the members took office on 1 April 1905.^[2] Buitenzorg's city council was, along with the ones in Batavia and Meester-Cornelis (both part of modern Jakarta), the oldest city council in the Dutch East Indies, predating others such as Bandung and Semarang by one year.^[1][2][3] The first membership consisted of 11 members, including 8 Europeans, 2 Native Indonesians and 1 Kapitein der Chinezen.^[4][5]

After the Indonesian National Revolution, the city council of Bogor was reformed with 15 members. They were in office until 1955, and in 1957 new members took office after a local election.^[1] The legislature's membership was increased to 22 in 1971,^[1] 45 by the 2004 election,^[6] and 50 by the 2019 election.^[7]

The legislature convenes at a building at Pemuda Street in Bogor, which was opened in 2019.^[8] Its previous office building had been converted into a public library.^[9]

Graft case

In December 2009, 20 former members of the legislature in the 1999–2004 period were arrested under corruption charges related to the city's 2002 budget. A further 12 legislators were made suspects.^[10] On 2 August 2010, all 32 suspects were found guilty and sentenced to 1 year in prison.^[11] The 32 convicted former legislators included three sitting members.^[12][13] The city's incumbent vice mayor, Achmad Ru'yat [id], whom was a member of the legislature between 1999-2004, was detained on 3 August 2010 under suspicion of being involved in this corruption incident.^[13] He was acquitted on 8 September 2011.^[14][15]
