on WhatsApp“Mohamed was a man who never tolerated corruption. He carried out his work diligently and without fear or favour. This country has lost one of its most brilliant legal minds,” he said.Maraga recalled working with Ibrahim in private legal practice before they both joined the judiciary, sometimes appearing on opposing sides.Ibrahim’s legal career spanned decades and was rooted in a strong commitment to constitutionalism, human rights, and the rule of law.In private practice, he handled complex and politically sensitive cases at a time when defending constitutional freedoms often attracted hostility from the State.Despite intimidation, Ibrahim remained resolute.
