Amina appointed a 15-member team headed by retired judge Aaron Ringera to manage FKF affairs for a period of six months.
The decision which took effect on Thursday followed a recommendation by an audit team which was appointed by the ministry of sports to among other things probe alleged misappropriation at the federation.
FKF president Nick Mwendwa has maintained innocence, while alleging malice against his and the federation.
Fifa is open to meeting FKF and the ministry so as to “address any concern both sides may have.”
