Agizo hilo amelitoa jana Jijini Dar es Salaam  alipokuwa anazindua Tamasha la Siku ya Msanii Duniani lilioandaliwa na Baraza la Taifa la Sanaa (BASATA) ambapo amewaahidi wasanii kuwa wakijisajili watatambulika  na itakuwa rahisi kwa Serikali kujua changamoto wanazozipata na kuzitatua kwa urahisi.

“Napenda mtambue kwamba suala la Urasimishaji linakwenda sambamba na uwepo wa Haki Miliki ya kazi za ubunifu, nawashauri mtunze Haki Miliki zenu na msiziuze na wale wabunifu  wapya na ambao hamjasajili kazi zenu nawaomba mfanye hivyo ili kuepuka uharamia”.Alisisitiza Mhe. Anastazia.

Aidha Mhe.Naibu Waziri amewaomba wadau wote wa Sanaa kutoa maoni yao katika kuboresha tasnia hii yenye kubeba maeneo kama Muziki, Filamu, Maonyesho, Ususi, na Uchoraji ili kuwezesha tasnia hii kujulikana na  kuboresha mapato ya Wasanii.

Kwa upande wake Katibu Mtendaji wa Baraza la Sanaa la Taifa (BASATA) Bw. Godfrey Muingereza amewataka Wasanii kutunza vibali wanavyopatiwa na Baraza hilo kwani ndio utambulisho wao popote wanapokuwa na inakuwa rahisi wao kusaidiwa wanapopata changamoto.

“Wengi wenu mmejisajili lakini wale wachache ambao bado naomba mfanye hivyo ili sisi tuwatambue na Sheria ya  Haki Miliki pia iwatambue”.Aliongeza Bw.Muingereza.

Naye Msanii wa Uchongaji Bibi Hapiness Mmbaga amewashauri wanawake kupenda fani hiyo na kuacha dhana inayosema kuwa kazi hiyo ni kwa ajili ya wanaume tu kwani ulimwengu wa sasa umebadilika hakuna tena kuchagua aina ya kazi ya kufanya.
