KAMPALA, July 29 (Reuters) – The Ugandan shilling was firmer on Monday on the back of inflows of dollars from non-governmental organisations and some commodity exporters such as coffee, traders said.

At 0846 GMT commercial banks quoted the shilling at 3,710/3,720, compared with Friday’s closing rate of 3,720/3,730.
