While he served the Catholic Church, Njue appeared to have a serious disdain for money. The biography titled Feeling with the Church: Cardinal Njue’s Long Service in the Catholic Church says Njue had no bank accounts nor any property to his name. “To him, money and property meant nothing and he believed that it should be the same for the priests...” it reads.
