"Coach Okere, whose appointment takes effect immediately will replace David Ouma who has parted ways with the Federation by mutual consent," added the statement.
The changes comes barely three days after Ouma named a new look 30-member squad for the 2022 Africa Women Cup of Nations Qualifiers (AWCON) slated for June.
Okere whose first assignment will be against Zambia's Copper Queens in an away friendly match on April 24 will be assisted by his KCB counterpart Godfrey Oduor and Mildred Cheche.
But Okere knows he has his work cut out as he will have to ensure Kenya qualifies for the 2022 AWCON finals in Morocco.
