In 2018, Robert (Bob) Lowres donated $10,000 to the FijiFirst Party. He told Khaiyum that he (Khaiyum) should be setting up a merchant bank as it has the ability to borrow funds from the Middle East at a very low rate, lend it to people like him and make a profit on it.
The Naisoso Island developer Bob Lowres highlighted this during the Fiji Chamber of Commerce and Industry panel discussion. He claimed his real estate industry could create hundreds of jobs and bring millions of dollars to Fiji. |  |

Dear Sir
I do not wish to engage in any correspondence with you.
If you ever have the spinal fortitude to come to Fiji then I will be happy to speak with you face to face about all the slanderous allegations that you have made against me whilst hiding like a coward overseas.
