Hitting the standard for the Olympics in track isn't the same as having qualified. In the US, for example, you could hit the 100m qualifying time of 10.00 but not make the team because the US only gets 3 athletes.

The only way you can auto qualify at this point is if your country stinks at track and they'll send anyone who hits the Olympic standard. I'm not sure if that's how Uganda does it or not. They don't have much history of sprinting but it would be unusual to say somebody is already on the Olympic team in April. I can't find anything online that explains their selection process.
