A statement from State House said the event graced by the President will also include the dedication of the Shrine constructed by the Catholic Church.
"The Marian Shrine was developed by the Catholic Diocese of Kitui to serve as a privileged place of prayer, retreat, and recollections," the statement said.
Uhuru who was accompanied to Kitui by Defence CS, Monica Juma was received by Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu among other local leaders.
This visit comes a few days to Uhuru’s expected tour of the Ukambani region.
Uhuru said he will visit the region on June 28 and 29 during a meeting with Lower Eastern region leaders at State House on June 14.
The two-day development tour will see President Uhuru visit Machakos and Makueni counties on June 28 and June 29.
The Head of State will inspect ongoing government projects and launch new ones in a bid to calm the region which has complained about being ignored since the 2018 handshake deal between Uhuru and Raila Odinga.
