It's not really for Pakistan: it's for American NGOs that will administer the program, which are full of political allies, family members or former Congressional staffers who will benefit from "administering" these programs and who will, undoubtedly, arrange for this money to be kicked back to campaign donations or electoral support for Democrats or rich Republican donors.
For example, the NGOs administering this program will need lots of consultants for handling (paying off) Pakistani officials, setting up offices, etc. This will all be contracted out at enormous expense to former government officials, foreign officers, ex-military, etc.
Government funding of NGOs hides the parasites feeding off the system. Because they and not the government make the contracts, there's no transparency. In the end, only a fraction of the money is actually spent in Pakistan. Most of it is consumed here.

“That’s the way legislation works - you don’t knock my pet cause, I don’t know yours, and we both vote aye!”
And we the people get screwed. The level of corruption is mind numbing.
When the Chinese or the islamists finally take over it may be an improvement.

You can’t biden a kickback for yourself if you don’t fund foreign interests.

Just listening to the news on Canada’s CBC.
To hear them tell it, DJT is a real SOB for not giving people the money that CONGRESS already said they could have. From their telling, you came away with the impression - how can he be so mean??
He’s such a brute !
To: Not_Who_U_Think
Trump is a smart businessman.
Congress is largely a collection of crooked snakes. If we followed their money trail, most of them would be in Prison.

Yes, I believe it is pretty accurate. There are some exceptions, I think the majority of them are guilty of serious crimes. And of breaking their oath to the Constitution.

It is said that the EU is the center of this. They they offered huge money to Presidents, Governors, Mayors and prominent politicians.
With strings attached.

Recap:Corporations (special interest group) write the legislation. Lobbyists take the law and go find politician(s) to support it. Politicians get support from their peers using tenure and status etc. Eventually, if things go according to norm, the legislation gets a vote.

Congress does not write laws or legislation, special interest groups do.
To: Texas Fossil
While all of this is happening the same outside groups who write the laws are providing money for the campaigns of the politicians they need to pass them.
To: Texas Fossil
The income of many long-term politicians on both Republican and Democrat sides of the aisle was completely disrupted by President Trump winning the election. That is one of the key reason why so many politicians retired immediately thereafter.
