They just can't help themselves. (Pun intended)
The perception, and very likely the reality, is that those at the top do it, so they all might as well do it.
Has there ever been a successful prosecution involving civil service fraud?
Prosecution of an elected official? Aught to be dozens.
And we wonder why the country is in the condition it is in.

Obviously Minnis has no clue how that works, that the Banking system works against it,
that creating an online portal to inventory and payables is expensive and requires investment and costs beyond what most retail entities can bear, even pre Covid.
An online presence is an ongoing maintenance overhead/cost.
With the banks evading liability for fraudulent debit and credit card use at every turn and seriously lagging in the implementation of their own responsibility for facilitating that aspect.
Always the problem with Government, zero homework done, magic wand has dead batteries,
wand operator is clueless.

However the private sector has funds, and generally will do solar to reduce / eliminate power bills.
While BEC BPL see this as loss of captive revenue it should be seen as offsetting growth of utility needs and infrastructure strain.
And all the while you have the insidious overarching Government inclination to "control"
Canadian electrical code handles the rules quite well. There is no need for the URCA/Min of Works/BEC trifecta of limitations and blockades.

We change priorities around here like most change their underwear.

Climate change is all well and fine, but the Bahamas still has no clearly defined Alternate/Solar energy policy.

The grid needs turbines for stability.

The Banks can barely support physical presence in commerce, there is no way they can support online shopping. the CC/debit card Fraud rate will skyrocket, and quite frankly they (the banks) don't want to invest in the proper system protections online transactions need.
They're downsizing and pulling out remember?
From the retail side, an online presence is expensive, will add to costs of doing business.
Prices will go up.
Careful what you wish for.

Interesting, I wonder what price they have put on the destruction of a marine habitat when that damage will be permanent?
A sq mile? 100? 10,000?
The eastern seaboard of the U.S?
And who is the loss payee?
No, The minute you monetize destruction the $$ is all politicians see. The environment and people will suffer not if but when there is an accident.
One look at Clifton Pier is enough to give pause.
We already have radioactive waste dumped off the coast of P.I. that was dumped with someones permission. (Government)
