Fifa general secretary Urs Linzi, in a letter to the ousted Kariuki, said Fifa was left with no other option after it became clear Balala was unwilling to reinstate KFF officials.
"Such a change of approach is a prerequisite in order for a genuine dialogue to be launched between the Kenyan government, KFF and FIFA to allow all parties to work together to help Kenyan football solve its problems, " said Linzi in his letter.
