Sayed-Khaiyum is charged with one count of abuse of office.

The allegation is that between June 30, 2022 and July 12, 2022, in Suva, while being employed in the civil service as the acting Prime Minister of Fiji, Sayed-Khaiyum signed a Deed of Variation and Addendum between the Government of Fiji and the Supervisor of Elections, Mohammed Saneem.

It was alleged this was done without the proper approval of the Constitutional Offices Commission and the President of Fiji, in abuse of the authority of his office, which was an arbitrary act prejudicial to the rights of the Government of Fiji.
