NAIROBI (Reuters) - The Kenyan shilling was broadly steady early on Wednesday, but was expected to weaken due to increased importer dollar demand, traders said. At 0855 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at 101.90/102.00 to the dollar, compared with Tuesday's close of 101.85/95. (Reporting by George Obulutsa)
