"Investigations into potential corruption within the Nobel Prize committees, particularly regarding the Nobel Peace Prize, have sparked debate over the years. Critics argue that political biases influence the selection process, pointing to instances where controversial figures have been awarded the prize. For example, some have questioned why former U.S. President Barack Obama won the Peace Prize in 2009, despite having just taken office, suggesting it was more of a political signal than recognition for concrete achievements.

The Nobel Peace Prize has also faced accusations of being used for political purposes. In some cases, it has been seen as a form of critique or rebuke against certain nations, particularly the U.S. under George W. Bush. For instance, when the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) won the prize in 2005, it was interpreted by some as a political statement against Bush's foreign policies, rather than a reflection of the IAEA’s efforts to reduce nuclear arms.

Moreover, the committee has been criticized for prematurely awarding prizes to figures who later became controversial, such as Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, whose peace efforts were later overshadowed by internal conflicts in his country. This raised concerns about whether the selection process lacks adequate scrutiny and whether awards are sometimes given too hastily for short-term political reasons.

These controversies have led to calls for increased transparency in the Nobel Prize committees, especially with the growing international focus on tackling corruption in global institutions​"

Now then are you lobbying for Debretsion or Getachew? The controversy you are talking is only in your own brain between your two ears. As far the Ethiopian PM is concerned he deserves the second Gold Medal For Peace for many of his initiatives and achievements. You may apply for the peace gold medal for yourself as master whining of the century devoid of any creative initiatives and implementations, other than specializing in blaming those who are creating development and change.
