I have FIRST-HAND seen corruption around USAID-style "assistance" back home. I fully support that work of his.

I've seen corruption in the police. Government. Hospitals. Do you support immediately shuttering those offices with no replacements?

They could at least just get funded by their own government.

There is corruption everywhere. But do you deny that these organizations by-and-large provided aid and therefore saves the lives of folks who may have otherwise died from illness?

This doesn't make corruption OK. But he tore out a lifeline for some people without giving them an alternative way to get aid.

YES. I DENY THAT! USAID is a curse on my homeland. It lured the hopeful but never delivered.

In my 30+ years of life I have not seen a single successful project that either: wasn't a facade, or didn't benefit the ruling class only.
