                                                                                                   Bashir Abdullahi 

Bashir Abdullahi is a Kenyan politician who currently serves as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Mandera North.

Bashir jumped into the spotlight after his remarks about the BBC Documentary titled Blood Parliament.

The documentary revealed the identities of policemen and a military officer, alleged to be behind the killings that occurred outside parliament buildings on June 25, 2024.

However, Bashir stated that the documentary was disrupting Kenyans’ healing process.

Speaking on the floor of the National Assembly, the MP said the events that happened that day were sad, painful and shameful.

However, Bashir said all that is in the past, and the country has moved on to other issues.

He said the MPs and Senators discussed the matter in Parliament, sympathised with the victims, and moved on.

“A very sad day indeed, tragic and shameful. Tragic in the sense that we lost the lives of our fellow Kenyans, shameful in the sense that the democracy of our parliament was about to be infringed and nevertheless, it has come at this time, a time that we have really moved on. We spoke about that issue in this house, discussed it, sympathised, and mourned our fellow Kenyans who passed on during that day,” Bashir said.

“However, it has come at this time again when, as much as we agree that our fellow Kenyans lost their lives, unfortunately, we also moved on to ensure that we reconcile the country as we move on.”

There is no publicly available information regarding the age or family details.
