NAIROBI (Reuters) - The Kenyan shilling was steady on Wednesday, with traders saying they saw demand from oil importers being matched by inflows from charities, and that they were also on the lookout for central bank selling dollars. At 0749 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at 101.30/50 to the dollar, unchanged from Tuesday's close. (Reporting by John Ndiso; Editing by George Obulutsa)
