When someone of some relative stature or position "agrees" to to do something, that person has "kindly consented" to do it. It is the superfluous, respectful way of saying "agreed".
Usage
Ganesh: Did you know that Sachin is coming to our school?
Mangesh: Yes, he has kindly consented to be the chief guest for our annual day.
Mangesh: Yes, he has kindly consented to be the chief guest for our annual day.
