NAIROBI (Reuters) - The Kenyan shilling weakened on Friday due to increased dollar demand from the energy sector but was seen receiving support from foreign exchange inflows from horticulture produce exporters. At 0834 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at 101.45/55 to the dollar, compared with 101.30/40 at Thursday's close. (Reporting by John Ndiso; Editing by George Obulutsa)
