“Graft” is broadest — it refers to corruption generally. “Kickback” specifically means that a portion of money paid is secretly paid back; there has to be money going in two direction. “Bribe”, in contrast, relates to money going in just one direction; one person pays the bribe, and the person receiving the bribe takes some action.
