If the area under my lamp-post is dirty, that's what I should care about. I don't care that there's some dirty lamp-post on the other side of the world. I don't live there. I don't have any power, or influence over that lamp-post.
It's one thing when some government agency in Turkmenistan is behaving unethically. It's another thing to actively abet unethical behaviour next door.
You are right that, if it's my lamp-post, it's fine for me to say that it's not as clean as it should be, and we need to fix it. But that's different from what jerf said. He said it's not valid to assume that under my lamp-post is uniquely dirty. And he is also correct.
