Why people convert Kenya to MSK time

Scheduling a call from Kenya to MSK: a 10:00 AM start in Kenya lands at 10:00 AM in MSK, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Kenya and MSK are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM EAT time (9:00 AM–5:00 PM MSK). That is roughly 8 hours of usable overlap.
Coordinating a Kenya-based team with MSK contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM EAT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +0h gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–5:00 PM EAT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Kenya and need MSK colleagues present.
