On Saturday the government announced that churches, bars and night-clubs in the Honiara Emergency zone will stay shut, except for casinos.
This comes as Covid-19 rips through Solomon Islands, especially in the capital.
As of late last week there were more than 4,000 cases in the country and at least 50 deaths.
Mr Wale claims the exemption for the casinos is purely political to support businesses with links to the government.
He asks how casinos can be any different from churches in terms of helping spread Covid.
