He said placards would not be entertained in the chamber during the budget presentation on Thursday.

This is not the first time members of parliament have been cautioned against the use of placards in the House.

Meanwhile, the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta has promised that the 2017 Budget will introduce policies that will help rationalize public expenditure, strengthen contract management and realign statutory funds for a priority project.
