CS Kandie roots for pilgrimage tourism at Italy expo

NAIROBI: East African Affairs, Commerce and Tourism Cabinet Secretary Phyllis Kandie Thursday visited the town of Anfoin Italy, where the recently beatified Blessed Sister Irene Nyaatha Stefani was born. She presented a gift to Mayo Mabellini Gianpietro.

The CS gave him a portrait of Mt Kenya as a gift from Kenyans. Kandie said the beatification of 'Nyaatha' had presented an opportunity for Kenya to host pilgrims and noted that linkages between Nyaatha's motherland and Nyeri where she died will enhance pilgrimage tourism.
