Abstract	This article examines the effect of foreign aid on the fiscal behaviour of a recipient government. In particular, it analyses to what extent foreign aid influences the recipient country's choice between public investment and consumption. The model of a rational policymaker has been used to derive consistent behavioural equations in order to estimate the effects of foreign aid on government fiscal responses within the context of an African country -- Kenya. The results confirm earlier findings regarding the positive relationship between tax and consumption, and grants and public investment. however, a small leakage of loans to consumption was observed. --Journal abstract
