Feb 27 (Reuters) - Kenya's shilling weakened to a
fresh low on Monday due to persistent importer demand for
dollars, mainly from the oil sector, traders said.
At 0941 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at
127.00/20 per U.S. dollar - a new all-time low - compared with
Friday's closing rate of 126.80/127.00.
The shilling is expected to continue its downward trajectory
in the coming days, one trader at a commercial bank said.
