Mr Mwanzi1, if you stand for correction, let me put it in my way that, we are not a 'laid back society' but rather a 'deliberate sabotaged society' by internal and external selfish personalities. Look at how our natural resources are being mishandled, how our industries were privatized, how youths rush to towns and cities leaving the old folks to till on the land, how our expatriates perform their duties in a manner of 'business as usual', etc, etc! Inasmuch we dance to this tune of 'laid back society', we will remain so, though it is just a mindset misconception and not the reality!
Digest and cheers!
