The MP also sits on judicial watchdog the JSC

MP Hisaan Hussain plans to recuse herself from the parliamentary standing committee on the judiciary when the committee is working in the Judicial Service Commission, of which she is a member.
The issue was raised by some lawmakers after Hisaan was appointed a member of the newly formed standing committee with the powerful mandate of judicial oversight.
Hisaan was appointed to the committee after she was also nominated by parliament to sit on the judicial watchdog, the JSC, as the parliament’s nominee.
In a tweet, Hisaan said the judiciary committee’s mandate was not exclusive to the JSC and said that she will recuse herself from any proceedings related to the JSC on the committee.
