NAIROBI, July 26 (Reuters) – Kenya’s shilling gained ground on Friday, helped by dollar inflows from tea exporters, trader said.

At 0808 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at 131.50/132.50, compared with Thursday’s closing rate of 132.50/133.50.

The central bank has also sold dollars during the week, traders said, helping to support the shilling.
