Gondo baru kembali dari Arab Saudi untuk melobi pemerintah Arab Saudi agar menambah kuota haji Indonesia. "Ini saya anggap berhasil karena dua menteri Saudi Arabia menyatakan akan menutupi pemotongan kuota haji 20 persen dengan catatan permintaan kita agar kuota meningkat 200 persen juga akan dipertimbangkan."
Gondo mendahului kembali ke Tanah Air karena jadwalnya untuk memberikan pembekalan kepada Petugas Penyelenggara Ibadah Haji (PPIH) Saudi Arabia di Asrama Haji Pondok Gede Jakarta, Rabu malam.
