The budget presentation ceremony is scheduled to start at 2pm. The management of the federal parliament had also beefed up security within and around the complex.
Special accreditation arrangements were made for journalists, security agents and members of staff who would be on duty for the ceremony.

A member of staff, who did not want to be named, also said some workers who were not directly involved in the logistics to host the President would stay away from the complex during the budget presentation.
