NAIROBI, April 19 (Reuters) - Kenya's shilling weakened on Wednesday, undermined by increased demand for
dollars from oil retailers and manufacturers, and listed
companies preparing to pay dividends to their foreign
shareholders, traders said.
At 0651 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at
135.00/135.20 per dollar, compared with Tuesday's closing rate
of 134.90/135.10.
The shilling touched a new record low of 135.05/25 per
dollar early on Wednesday, Refinitiv data showed.
