LONDON, 2 April, 2021 (TON): Amidst intense debate over Downing Street’s controversial report on racial discriminations in Britain, a senior adviser to UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson will resign, media reported.

The sources said on Thursday that Samuel Kasumu, Johnson's special adviser for civil society and communities informed the colleagues of his decision on Wednesday that he will leave his role in May.

News of his departure emerged the day after the government released a report which concluded that there was no evidence of institutional racism in Britain.

According to the report, "The report by the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities faced heavy criticism, with claims that it is culturally deaf, out of step with public opinion, and steeped in denial."

However, the reports from the sources state that Kasumu is expected to stay in post until May to continue work on improving vaccine uptake in minority groups.
