NAIROBI (Reuters) - The Kenyan shilling weakened a touch on Monday, undermined by a surge in corporate dollar demand ahead of a national holiday on Wednesday. At 0820 GMT commercial banks quoted the shilling at 100.70/100.80 compared with Friday's close of 100.65/75. (Reporting by John Ndiso; editing by Elias Biryabarema)
