The Kenyan shilling weakened on Wednesday due to rising dollar demand by energy companies, manufacturers and banks covering their short-dollar positions while inflows were scant.
At 0811 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at 88.05/88.15 to the dollar, recovering from an intra-day low of 88.10/88.20. The shilling had closed at 87.95/88.05 on Tuesday.
