The Keekonyokie slaughter[4] house located in Kiserian Center, just next to the Catholic Church or seminary, serves as an important economic hub for the people of Kiserian and its environs; meat slaughtered from the abattoir is transported to Nairobi city and other towns in Kenya. The Kiserian dam constructed down the river approximately 1 km (0.6 mi) away provides environmental and social benefits to the people of Kiserian town. Kiserian market is also an economic hub; various products get exchanged in the market, notably Maasai chukkas and food stuffs like potatoes, carrots, and cabbages that get transported from Narok and other highland places.

One of the major challenges facing Kiserian is the lack of proper roads and sewerage disposal system.
