 The following year, in 1883, the Egyptian minister of the interior Isma'il Aiyub issued a circulation forbidding the application of the kurbash after the death of a man by flogging provided a proximate cause for the illegality of the kurbash.The application of the whip vanished most quickly in the realm of tax collection, a phenomenon credited by the British Consul-General in Egypt to the tax reform under Anglo-French dual control.The practice for the use of enforcing corvée labor later disappeared, as this form of labor was largely abolished by the British in 1892.
