Defense CS Raychelle Omamo has told off the Opposition for speaking on military affairs.
She said statements by the NASA coalition are aimed at causing division and disaffection in the armed forces.
She also dismissed claims that the military spokesperson Colonel Joseph Owuoth was missing.
"We wish to inform the public that Owuoth is not missing and he is alive here with us," she told the media on Tuesday.
Kisumu Senator Anyang' Nyong'o had told the press that Owuoth last spoke to his sister on Monday.
"His sister Elizabeth talked to him and he was in constant mobile communication with her but when he reached around Nakuru he stopped responding," Nyong'o said.
The governor candidate further claimed Owuoth was sent on compulsory leave on Friday after confirming the authenticity of the papers.
But the CS said, "[NASA leaders] want to precipitate fear and apprehension across the country. We would like to urge all politicians to leave out the military in their political discourse."
The CS maintained that the military will remain apolitical and professional in their duties.
Owouth also refuted claims that he was sent packing after verifying documents tabled by NASA.
Presidential candidate Raila Odinga said they had evidence of an audacious plan by Jubilee and top military commanders to use force to subvert Tuesday's election with a rigged outcome
The spokesperson also said he would not comment on the case filed by NASA on the deployment of KDF for the polls as the matter is in court and will be heard on Wednesday.
"I want to refute the stories that I disappeared. I am alive and well on my normal routines and duties," Owuoth added.
