NAIROBI, July 8 (Reuters) – Kenya’s shilling was steady on Monday, but it was expected to gain ground in the next few days due to increased dollar inflows from tea exporters, traders said.

At 0752 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at 127.75/128.75 per dollar, the same as Friday’s closing rate.
