It´s not nessecary to have it in your name to be honest, I know in the Americas it´s an issues but not in east-africa. Crossed multiple borders with bajaj bikes not in my name and if you have all the ownership documents inclueding a photocopy of the previous owners passport and a written buyers-contract there was never an issue. Once sold a Bajaj 150 to a british guy in Malawi who continued with it all the way down to Namibia, no problems whatsoever. The only border where they asked about any documents apart insurance was the Ugandan one, been there multiple times on differant border-posts and never a problem with the bike not in your name. I am a 100% sure though that if you really want to have it in your name that is possible at the offices of the UNRA ( Uganda national road authority ) on Jinja road. Was never worth the hussle for me though, expect the process to take some time maybe a few wheels have to be "greased", or maybe not who knows ...
Greetings,
Chris
